Lyrics for Song for Dead Time
Now, the past is untrue And this breath is a lie And the Sun is an emptiness That burns through the sky And this ground, it will slide down Down into the sea And when this body dies No man will breathe One word Of ignorance For me So bury your trust beneath the ground with me And lay your loneliness down for the Sun to consume Now, the Earth bleeds cold water In my open hands But their bodies bleed poison And they swallow the sand And we'll walk to the river Where we'll die of a thirst And my fate, it's no question Every fool he's broken beneath The same Unholy Curse So bury your love beneath the ground with me And lay your loneliness down for the Sun to burn To sand
