Lyrics for Sheperd's Tone

If you prove it, I'll do it I'll do anything If you prove it The sky empty Trees like widows hurdle The bore muzzle nuzzle, iridescent black truffle Black snow in the forest Quiet like Babi Yar with the corpses Put the devil in the cage, he made him a fortress Why the long faces? (This is Drench) We was fortunate to make a fortune off it Heavy metal, the kid's play cautious Heavy water, the drip just nauseous Silent spring, strange wind A dead spider in the middle of its web Sun spun gold in its threads The sun set red in the west Bled 'til it's nothin' left The ground still thirsty, on this Earth it's no mercy Rot where you fall like sick cattle The ground grab you And like your prey These savory things (thing) Ignite your need to quip (quip) If I'd like to stay (stay) Go on, just stay (but) But I'm not in my right way No symbol, no innocent angle, sits Inside my lingo, I am twist of this And well, if you do forsake me I'll not be forsworn
