lyrics

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
