lyrics
time shall yield
drinking the fog
on the Skeleton Coast
relentlessly spawning
my mouth is the mouth of a thousand young
my seed is the salt on the future's tongue
our graves are the cradles of the gods unsung
our age is the age of gotterdammerung
drowning you invoke
ghosts of smoke
Eadem manet natura sorte mutata
Et carnem caro factum est
time shall steal
cross crimson grist
by first light's mist
we toil
this desert is the dust
of weathered stones and rust
climbing a strange spire
going forward doesn't
take one higher
we'll lay our eggs in your tomb
and what's left we'll consume
the horizon's dark shawl
the air's leaden mass
the eager, anticipatory dryness
the storm sails in
on a black iron hull
glistening grains in its wake
fording the flood
on the backs of our brood
molting and changing
you will be forgotten
we were never known
(Solo: KS)
(Solo: JS)
respice humilitatem nostram
