A Dirge to a Carrion Heart Lyrics


We die in fading light together as

Your gift

that we defied

The ark our world has always been to us

Is aiming

into the unknown

My father's crimes, my mother's gaze

My brother's blood and mine must pay,

A gentle heart

That made us art

As I speak with broken tongue

While poison fills my lungs

Make me go, let us leave,

That you can heal and we may breathe

Link by link our doom we forged

With that chain our hearth we scourged

We die in fading light together as

Your gift

That we defied

That we defied

Where our homes once stood

Is blooming the seed of the tombstone

And dust

Is what our fountain of wealth has become

Among the rows of our graves

The echoing fate of the nameless prevails

In this dying world

Love's a dying word

The presence of sentience

An abhorrence of revolution

The slaughter of animals

Made by animals, the way of flesh

The price of intelligence

Is violence and genocide

The time of our dominance

Is over now, it's time to leave
