Song for Dead Time

[Verse 1]

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, oh

[Chorus]

So bury your trust beneath the ground with me

And lay your loneliness down for the sun to consume

[Verse 2]

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 will die of a thirst

And my fate, it's no question, every fool, he is broken

Beneath the same holy curse, oh

[Chorus]

So bury your love beneath the ground with me

And lay your loneliness down for the sun to burn to sand
