With This Dagger in My Heart I Shall Turn the World to Ash Lyrics


The staircase will watch over us

As we descend

Into the glistening

Cellar and dance.

When the canopy opens and the sky falls downward

I will stand with my mouth open

And wait for the rain.

Somewhere in the ocean that rages and tears against my ribs;

My insides glowing red

It pierces and pulls.

There exists a familiar feeling,

When I lift the world:

My body is the fulcrum and the lever.

I watch the grains of sand in my palm turn to fire and burn holes in my hands.

My body is the fulcrum and the lever,

When I lift the world.

When I lift the world,

When I see my life:

This fountain of poison,

I drink from it's eyes.

When I lift the world.

Without god, without loss it's a vicious circle.

Does it feel good to lose me?

Do you feed on my pain?

Can I stop and breathe?

Can I become Holy?

And as quickly as it comes, it leaves:

And as quickly as he comes he leaves.
