lyrics

pale and close/are the rooms that i chose/with its small mouse doors/where i'd bargain my sin/whole kingdoms we'd fill/and great cities we build/out of the minds of men/drunk on the blood of the lamb/even though it fills all of us/still we are false/our hands have grown weary/of hold their form/as our claws take their shape/our skin is left torn/and the fields are empty/no one labors 'til dusk/we'd rather die in our beds/than toil in our dust/even though it fills all of us/still we are false/i will sing her a song/as we weed in the dawn/near the garden walls/calling us home/she will raise her head/as i reveal in plain speak/her work just like snowfall/so quiet in its strength/even though it fills all of us/still we are false/
