lyrics

The heat, the breeze, the braying disease and the trees
The palms of my hands are a foreign land
The sand, our friends, understated and red
A night to recover with all the undercovers

And you'll eat what you get
When you sit with the rest of the honored guests
At the height of the hour dour faces are turned away
In the name of the night they are toasting to a southern wind
And the table's on fire again

We've done this before
And it's happening again
It's dumber than reason
It's wasteful as sin
An extravagant offering
A toast to the end

The scents, the scare, the irradiated air
My breath, all leaden with laughter and dread
An eye, a tear, a caravan in the rear
A destination aimless, distant and blue

And we'll dream with the rest, if we ever get to sleep again
In the kingdom of animals its the cannibals who have agency
At the height of the hour the night demands her hunger satisfied
We're wild and smashing the tables again

We're falling so far
Not a care what's below
It's a funny sensation
It's part of the show
A story to tell your mind when it blows
What a foolish affair, yeah everyone knows

Heavenly
Oh what a time be alive, they're saying
Deafening,
Louder than night to be outside, it's maddening
Ages Eras Eons Burning
Ashes rising to the Morning Star

Heavenly
Oh what a time be alive, they're saying
Deafening
Louder than night to be outside, it's maddening
Ages Eras Eons Burning
Ashes rising to the Morning Star
