lyrics

Into the dark we creep
Seven layers deep
With nooses on our necks
And many miles to go
Before we sleep
Wearing suffering as shrouds
Edging out the proud
From before the dawn of man
Running circles in the sand
All of the best laid plans
Come to nothing

Your crowning achievement
Is that what we are?
More precious than sparrows
A legion of stars
Or did you forget
The frailty of our hearts
Drowned in deceit
Bound to rip you apart

Take us from our branches
To toil and to spin
Tear us from the roots
That you have grafted in
We’re not worthy of tear
Being shed for us
A single drop of blood
How can it ever be enough?
How can it ever be enough?

Your crowning achievement
Is that what we are?
More precious than sparrows
A legion of stars
Or did you forget
The frailty of our hearts
Drowned in deceit
Bound to rip you apart
