lyrics

All around this holy sand
Is the sound of a battered land
Reeling back like a rubber band
From a tireless and cold demand

And there’s an opening
At the faultlines in this dream
This is a parting song I’ll sing again

And the fear crumples you
Into a shape opaque, obtuse
You can roll blindly into the noose
Or unwind, wild, wide-eyed and choose

An opening
At the faultlines in this dream
This is a parting song I’ll sing again

As I thumb some weathered stone
Shaped smooth in the crashing foam
I feel god in its formless home
In the thrust of this molten shore

And there’s an opening
At the faultlines in this dream
This is a parting song I’ll sing again
