Lyrics

The gods cried down their tears of rage They struck the ground, fed this earth, their anger rained In this bed built of sin last night I lay And my body shook I sobbed and blue skies turned gray Oh, my intentions were never pure My heart was wounded it would not be cured I mourned for my loss, I took what was yours Stab me ‘neath my ribs my back’s exposed for your dagger’s curse And when you stab me to the hilt, you won’t feel any guilt This is what I deserve, my body’s a temple that’s been deserted Take it out on me if this is what you need You don’t need to feel any shame coz I’m the one to blame Plant your seeds of doubt The rain will be sure to see ‘em sprout And as I watch our flame go out With blood on my hands I curse the sky and its merciless clouds You put your faith in the wrong hands You tried to catch sunlight, but there were cracks in this man It fell through my fingers like an infant playing in sand Our castle was conquered when the tide came in I ran The anger of the mighty sea, the bittersweet memories For I was once a child and on these waves we went wild But it swallowed me up whole, the trident ripped apart my soul I’m guilty I didn’t want this fate for everyone that was left in my wake Mother, mother you can’t hold me now The boy grew up he just didn’t know how Went down to the shore and the thunder howled The ocean’s fingers pulled me in as the waves they plowed And tomorrow the sun will rise again I’ll take you off that pedestal, come down to earth again Trim the fat off the image that I carry of you in my head I’m sorry, I’m sorry my friend
