lyrics

clouds of red brimming the shoals/lay my head on a warm bed of coals/open skies/shards of glass falling awry/fields of our pharaoh are sanguinary and fallow/silence prevails though i may cry from hell/oh my lord humming along/with the rises and falls/of the angels song/as the dragons breath enters the womb/it's ruination/born in our tombs/put on the white robe of your conquering son/as the smoke filled with locust/in violent swarms/as i wait for you/as i wait for you/i am prey for you/raptors gather to feast/on the flesh of slaves and kings/and the blood shall flow/as i wade in streams below/oh my lord humming along/to the rises and falls /of the angels song/hallelujah/hallelujah/i am prey for you/and i'll wait for you/oh yes and i'll wait
