Deader than Thou

Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright Wish you had sight eyes to see The plight, the curse upon thee The plague of eternity Sprouting of thy tainted sanctity Forbidden fruit of a polluted tree I never thought I'd be the one Thy kingdom undone But how could you ever know? How could you ever see? You've always been deader than me Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright If you had eyes to see would you turn on me? You lit the pyre, I let it be Like father, like son The fire burns the hands that fell the tree Wish you had ears to hear Our tacet scream You did this to them And they did this to me So I'll do it you now An eye for a being May the end set us all free I made the seeds bleed Made the mountains move Infected clouds quiver And the ground too I gave everything to see this through I'll die to make the sky cry Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright If you had eyes to see would you be ashamed of me? You lit the pyre, I let it be Like father, like son The fire burns the hands that fell the tree I never thought I'd be the one Thy kingdom undone How could you ever know? How could you ever see? You've always been deader than me Yet the stain remains A mark so profane I never thought I'd see the sky cry for rain
