Lyrics
Bain of the breath how do I find you?
Thin back the cranes left in sky
As sacrifice, without last rite
It falls on thee to judge most high
In the pearl of a slummed day
The spirit of us was felt as soft cry
Yes, I'm sure you've inspired with love
But one is more than you are of one
It's time we say goodbye to fair
Farewell to fate as wrung
What makes thee thy true assassin
You must ask, but yet you know
As equals, as peoples
As bred foes we are the same
In parried odes to thy mountains
The spirit of us was pungent laughter
When every road is traveled hard
When every tear is shed for dirt
It's time we say goodbye to fair
Farewell to fate wrung
We'll leave our first kiss
For another lifetime
Another swell time
Another springtime
Another
The voice of god is silence found
The breath of life is borrowed toil
Lift the cross, I'm falling down
Peg the pale and brand forlorn
They wouldn't cure, they needn't seal
They wouldn't save an honest saviour's soul
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
Zero save zero
In shadowed apses chant my names
Not by birth, but the ones thus claimed you
Zero save zero
Mother knew, but she couldn't know
What they'd do and what they'd howl, yeah
Zero save zero
In situ, zero
You think you're first
You think you're last
You feel you're chosen
Choose what comes to pass
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Count zero-zero
Zero save zero
Zero-zed-zero
Zero save zero
