The bells are sounding, as they herald us to thunder
A new day dawns upon this land
Our coronation sings a fever as we greet the crowd
The infidels hang in the courtyard as we take our bow
The time to reap what we have borne out of our longing
Has reached its claws upon the hour
The sound we speak has lost its way behind the veil of words
The funeral pyres light the torches as we claim the crown
(Background voice:
I don’t belong here she says
Am I a falcon, bear or lamb, a holy offering
I don’t belong here she says
Bring me the beasts so I can know which one fits into me
I don’t belong here she says
Is my beast human and if so is, might I be too)
The calmest dream descends its wave upon our glory
The mighty rise to take the reign
The dead lie stacked, the bodies raped and torn proclaim our power
In bloodied streets we dance victorious as it all burns down
(Background Voice:
I don’t belong here she says
And if he’s dead does he still feel himself inside of me
I don’t belong here she says
Am I the beacon of the living for the dead who hunger
I don’t belong here she says
The animals all raise their eyebrows as I stroll by)
Voice 1:
Spun from the gold of the dead who still speak
I offer this up to you
Inside voices singing
Inside
Voice 2:
Taking off another layer
Meow
Meow
‘Twilight dreaming on a summer’s day
It takes me out to the water
I see the reeds as they blow around
I see the reeds as they blow around’
