Prowling saints Ashen bone Deathless foes Trap them all No more water, blood like glass Empty, clear, sand and ash I see it all, see at last See the god of future-past A trap for giants A grave for judges

Lord, where have you gone? Blood manifest in the veins of the son Sins of the father House of the ghost I'm alone in the house When I hear you the most Burden unfair, burden unkind Hold onto the spirit and feel it unwind Joan can you hear me Descartes was wrong We'll burn up the music We'll burn all our songs We'll burn up the books To quiet the voice Of a cheap, sick existence You don't have a choice Did you think that you'd get out Or think you'd survive Did you think you'd have courage enough to decide? Life in the firmament Love in the ground Sway to the pulse of that terrible sound The nights massed against you The days now as well The currency of time trades so weak when in hell The way out leads deeper The path through the roots The path through the soil The dead and the shoots Though thieves will assail you I'll wait at the fork We choose paths together, together we'll walk I miss all my friends Seen through darkened glass Their faces are changing The change comes too fast I see Northern Lights I see with my eyes The darkened glass fails St Mark now arise I come so much closer than ever before My hands on the veil My hands on the door My hand pulls back slowly The sky now alight The presence of something A glorious sight Words can't contain it My words weak and fast I reach out towards it I know it at last What mercy they show When wreathed in their grace When wrecked by their faith the impossible space Flesh into ashes Space into time I claim it all now I claim what is mine Torch to the pyre My kindling aflame I'll burn I'll burn I'm burning again

I offer up a silent prayer To whoever it is up there Who chose my path Who guides the lathe Of heaven across my way
4.
Now we part the sea, sky and land with infinite power We have passed the teeth, under roots and over bower Paths converge on me, holy land we hold the hour See our majesty, we'll make play against god's tower Now the time has come, fields burn foes come together Sky is darkening, god is war, war forever Roads to Rome Roads to Hell Roads to holy Israel Black blood and sand I just want to go back home

Caterwaul 02:48
Way out past the forest Way out past the shore Way out past where angels and devils roar A thousand miles of silence A thousand miles of fear A thousand miles more and I'll disappear My god is in the soil My lord is in the ground Listen to the chime of that terrible sound One hand on tomorrow Today rests in my palm Past stays where it is in the dark and calm Roads that lead to heaven And roads that lead to Rome I will stay the path on the road back home Judges in the grave Giants in the trap Hear my caterwaul like a thunderclap
