Sermon - Of Golden Verse lyrics



Tracks



01. The Great Marsh

Bodies on the water
They feel the push and pull
Bodies in the distance
They feel the tumble

Ringing through the clearing
They feel the ebb and flow
Ringing through the reason
They feel the tidal wave

Drowning in the struggle
They feel the river's pull
Drowning for the righteous
They feel the tread's pull

02. Royal

Lift the golden gown
To the humble leaf
Blow the pouring sound
Through the horns with teeth

Drape the hand around
To the shaking neck
Push the bodies through
To the endless black

Lift the golden gown
To the humble leaf
Blow the pouring sound
Through the horns with teeth

Drape the hand around
To the shaking neck
Push the bodies through
To the endless black

Breathe in, further
Breathe in, further
Breathe in, further
Breathе in, until the end

How long
Parade of thе fallen words
Blaze on
Raise the call to arms

Break them
Crush the bones into us
Straight in
The bodies fall into the magnificence

Lift the golden gown
To the humble leaf
Blow the pouring sound
Through the horns with teeth

Breathe in, further
Breathe in, further
Breathe in, further
Breathe in, until the end

How long
Parade of the fallen words
Blaze on
Raise the call to arms

Break them
Crush the bones into us
Straight in
The bodies fall into the magnificence

They'll march into the end
Single file and wait for it
Into the grave, they will come down

They all marched on
They topple
Into the grave, they become the royal

Royal, royal!
Royal, royal!

They'll march into the end (Royal!)
Single file and wait for it (Royal!)
Into the grave (Royal!)
They will come down (Royal!)

They took the hand
And pulled them down
They sink below
They become the crown!

Lift the golden gown
To the humble leaf
Blow the pouring sound
Through the horns with teeth

Drape the hand around
To the shaking neck
Push the bodies through
To the endless black

Royal!

03. Light The Witch

Dragged from the outside, dragged from the inside
You feel the clench
They stand you up
Pull (string you home)

Pile on the outside, pile on the inside
Stacked piece by piece
They sculpt the mound
Scream (burn them all)

Wretched on the inside, wretched on the outside
Swallow the fear
They stand you up
To reap (ride the shots)
Blister on the inside, blister on the outside
They watch the swell
Gather around
The embers

Set them ablaze
Shaking dark scene
Set them ablaze
Shaking dark scene

Flames on the outside, flames on the inside
You feel the clench
They stood you up
Pull (string you home)

Burned on the outside, burned on the inside
Burned piece by piece
The mound comes down
Scream (burn them all)

Content on the inside, content on the outside
Swallow the light
They stand you up
Scream (ride the shots)

Blistered on the inside, blistered on the outside
You feel the swell
Gather around
The flames

Set them ablaze
Shaking dark scene
Set them ablaze
Shaking dark scene

We lay across the leaves
On a bed of burning trees
One breath stands in the way of now and after

We lay across the leaves
On a bed of burning trees
Framed in the eyes of the other, they scream and scream
They Scream!

We lay across the leaves
On a bed of burning trees
Framed in the eyes of the other, they scream

Set them ablaze
Shaking dark scene
See them in flames
See them in flames

05. The Distance

Hiding, hiding
Red river beneath
Two by two
Reach for the seam

Further, further
They glide, unseen
Higher, higher
Raise the veil, the seam

Breathe and lead the way they run
Take the airway they fall
Hiding, hiding
Red river beneath
Two by two
Reach for the seam

Further, further
They glide, unseen
Higher, higher
Raise the veil, the seam

They run, they run
They fall, they run
They fall

Breathe and lead the way they run
Take the airway they fall
Breathe and lead the way they run
Take the airway they fall
They rise

And they rise
And they fall

Into the edge of thought
They sink below
To the song of all
That cease to grow

To the edge of thought
They need not know
To light the earth
And fear the glow

To the edge of reason
They sink below

(Into the edge of thought)
(They sink below)

06. Senescence

A rusted end
Exceeds its peak
They reach up to
The pale ceiling

Come the creator
Look him in the eye
When we go
Once more 'round the sun

What we know
Is a trough
What we don't
Is an ocean

Play the stone
Build the table
Leave the walls
Deceive for the unborn
Feathers fall
In the nest
Leave the walls
Deceive for the unborn

Congregation
Caress the soils
Sworn to maintain
Out of black, into the blue
Feathers fly, from the nest

07. Wake The Silent

We fight fires, in favour
The fire speaks from us
They must ever seek

We fight fires, without
Undeserved, speak the words
They must ever seek

Hiss the words so secretly
They believe so dearly
Shut the eyes, they will be cut
To the bone through the flesh
Wake the silent
Bless the weakness
Lеad them forward
Take the silеnce
Gazing into the unblessed

Feed the years of less
Light the hands of sin
Hide the eyes of sight
Gaze into the once forlorn

Feed the years of less
Light the hands of sin
Hide the eyes of sight
Gaze into the once forlorn

Hiss the words so secretly
They believe so dearly
Shut the eyes, they will be cut
To the bone through the flesh

Wake the silent
Bless the weakness
Lead them forward
Take the silence
Gazing into the unblessed

Feed the years of less
Light the hands of sin
Hide the eyes of sight
Gaze into the once forlorn

Feed the years of less
Light the hands of sin
Hide the eyes of sight
Gaze into the once forlorn

The words of sympathy
As they stare so sweetly
As one falls, they all will follow

The words of sympathy
As they stare so sweetly
As one falls, they all will follow

Wake, wake, wake, wake, wake, wake, wake
The silent!

08. Golden

They weigh them down with the thickest of hides
They weigh them down with the sharpest of arrows
They weigh them down through panting lies
They weigh them down in the shade of night

They weigh them down!

They weigh them down as the carcass lies
They weigh them down as the vultures gather
They weigh them down, the test remains
They weigh them down in the shade of might

They weigh them down!

The rain came down, so golden
Coat of arms to bind them
To the arrival of virtue
The waves like stars, so golden

They weigh them down through the thickest of hides
They weigh them down with the sharpest of arrows
They weigh them down through panting lies
They weigh them down in the shade of night

The rain came down, so golden
Coat of arms to bind them
To the arrival of virtue
The waves like stars, so golden

They set them in stone (They set them in stone)
They set them in stone
They set them in stone (They set them in stone)
They set them in stone

They hide the hunted
They hide the hunted
Seek the lion hearts
Seek the hearts, and come out

The rain came down, so golden
Coat of arms to bind them
To the arrival of virtue
The waves like stars, so golden

10. Departure

Raise the hand in defiance
The eyes have fallen
The head in silence
The hive is burning

So praise the departed
The white is calling
So praise the departed
The haze is coming

Burn the reef in solemn silence
Hang the cloth in solemn shame
Slit the right, the haze is coming
In the eyes of wolves, departurе's calling
No gods! No masters!
In the eyes of Satan!

Raised by the wolves, the departed they call
Raised by the wolves, the departed they praise
The hand in defiance
The eyes have fallen
The head in silence
The hive is burning

So praise the departed
The white is calling
So praise the departed
The haze is coming

'Til the circle is complete
They were walking on deceit
As they reach far beneath
Gather 'round, they cease to be

'Til in the circle is complete
They were staring at defeat
Hold the night, start to face
From the earth they fall from grace

Raise the hand in defiance
The eyes have fallen
The head in silence
The hive is burning

So praise the departed
The white is calling
So praise the departed
The haze is coming

As the fear cease to be
It's time to look out from the sky
