lyrics

The day is fading now and all the shadows swell.
Twilight of the afternoon, something moves atop the well.

Ears like fingers (Feet and fingers) (Something changes)
It stops and lingers (and rearranges)
Loses footing (purchase)
Face down (falls) into the abyss. (Abyss, face meet halfway down.)

A falling body bends (A fallen body soars
Wide open as it descends Wide open as it ignores
Where every future ends. Where rain and futures pour.) (Where rain is
evermore)
In the darkness all is swallowed up. (down)

This child of the world above,
Arriving in a stranger land.
Figment of a greater (vaster) love
In a cold unholy hand.

Tiny body in joyous wake
The point where waters break
The line between bliss and pain.
In the darkness nothing else remains.

To hear, to feel, to touch is innocence undoing.
A want, a hole too large will smother any breath.
These roots and stones, and earth tied bones
Exist alone, mon dieu.

In the left hand
The heart stops beating (Ah)
In the right hand
A fist is raised to god.

A servant of original sin
Knows death is there where love begins.
He rises like a howl of wind.
In the darkness someone will escape.

To hear, to feel, to touch is innocence undoing.
A want, a hole too large will smother any breath.
These roots and stones, and earth tied bones
Exist alone, mon dieu.

He’s rising

In August 2018, the band announced that Alex Koshak would be stepping in on drums as they headed into the studio to record their next album. The band’s name is a nod to Walt Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world. ... more
