lyrics

In my dreams I am a prophet where the last days break
I am wading through the waters of a clear dead lake.
Flecks of sulfur up high blotting out the sun and filling up my chest.
Sky shining radiant and golden as the end times crest.

I am hungry in the valley, I am hungry on the steppe,
I am hungry in the grassland where the last lion wept,
Engulfed now in the unabating fires that sweep across the land.
Ah, but look at me, look at me, my God I can make it all sand.

Raise my rod to the sky. Hidden symbols to trace.
Shout on the street corner to every passing face.

Birds fall high from the treetops,
They are waiting now to die. We are waiting now to die,
And we prayed and heard nothing from the sky.
In this tomb that we have made we are shaking and afraid.
Revelation.

Raise my rod to the sky. Hidden symbols to trace.
Shout on the street corner to every passing face.

Birds fall high from the treetops,
They are waiting now to die. We are waiting now to die,
And we prayed and heard nothing from the sky.
In this tomb that we have made we are shaking and afraid.
Revelation.

Our destroyers' children living on in a great iron lung,
I am babbling and thoughtless, ancient fables on my tongue.
I see the rolling green hills that I grew up on plunged into eternal drought,
And I see the light sputter out.
