All the Saints Are Dead Lyrics


The eyes form and follow

I promise this

They watch you come undone

With wax upon their tongues

To guard them from the burn

Of all there is to learn

Don’t toy with my soul

Nor place me on the mantle

My compass points north

Of oft uncertain weight

The enlightened ones

Our lady of Sorrow

Mourning all that is gone

And given to the grave.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

The ghost will embark across the great sea. Atop of the night, she’s got the cutting edge.

If I die, I die-

I said I’d make it right and that I did.

I tried to get out of the dungeon.

All done with a gun.

One chance to get out of the dark to be what touches you.

All hands high. New era nigh.

And all is golden. No quarter.

It all comes down.

Nourishment of Life and limb

This inner space Is geometric

Hit by rain

Struck by fear

Lay down our arms and destroy all definitions.

I will show you all there is to see

And all there is to come and sup

I will expose your every nerve and shame

The parts that simply don’t add up

I know there is nothing that I can say

To make you let the outside in

And all that I do for you is just in vain

I’ve learned that your hauntings always win.

All the Saints are dead. Now they sing in the choir. When the moon is red over the sunless empire. All the ides are dead from the extinct calendar. All their eyes are red. Blood of their lord and savior.

Don’t stop it Get ready.

Do you hear the sound of bells

That call the dead to rise?

The cradle is empty now

But the child still denies.

Do you hear the call to war?

Do you hear the call?

It’s gonna cost you everything you love.

Partial

Fractured

Memory

Nurture

Render

Ah.

The rain

Will fall

On sacred fire

To forge New truth.

Quench and temper forged in fury.

I drink the wine of your disguise

And taste the lie divine that was never mine.

I have seen the chains of fate

Dominus ex machina

We chant the lines of static prayer

In silicon we carve the sign of crosses that corrupt the air.

And I can show you all there is to see

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

All The Saints Are Dead.

-Blegh-

And I can show you all there is to see and come and sup.

It all comes down.

Nourishment of life and limb

This inner space is geometric

Hit by rain and struck by fear

Lay down our arms and destroy.

Dare to see what you have lost

The price that faith demands

For every crucifix you’ve crossed

Your blood has turned to sand.

And in the hourglass your time has come
