Besieged 歌詞

Measure the hours with hushed prayers Tremors erupt and invade Collapsing bones powder the soil Crumbling, trade silence for discord As my limbs take action The sparks of pain That resist every effort Crackle from the inner flame I once called inspiration Sighs fall gently to our feet We scatter poison ideas As we run toward every corner Disgraced Like the old gods If we linger we will be abandoned And sparsely paint the earth The beat of an aging drum Patters: Ba da, ba da Cadence of our repose Begs for surrender Savage and seething breath And one merciless spark Christen the clay and stone Anoint the earth Is power Infancy’s swift rise Into self-awareness Or is it knowing the lessons Of what we've done When did the remedy Become the enemy? In the tender web of night She hisses lullabies
