Lyrics

Hollow world

From out of devils dance I came
To bless you all with hazy shame
I bleed for all of you, so nothing saves me here
For all who ever breathed fear
I'm with angels flying near
I'm also humanized with a sorrowed heart of ice

I know I'm running through these weeds
Tripping in one of my secret dreams
I think I'm dancing were others danced before
As I see transparent stinging flies
Keeping me here in my own mind
I must be searching for others of my kind

They spin me round in a rotting womb
They let me see inside this tomb
That I am bittered and I'm nothing that they like
But I have plans yet still untold
To buy me in a land of old
A beautiful grave to hide my dreary soul, inside

Let us prey for better gods
And let us live in better worlds
That we may dance tonight in heaven with our dead
Mother of all that we are longing for
Bring us on to heavens shore
And build a cross with us, for all that we have lost

When your death would bring a newborn star to burn
Day would gloriously dance for night will never return
