Leave your words behind, their burden too pressing to bear

Mark my skin with your breath, burning verse into my bones

Take the wind to holy water and rest on the shore

Stain my hands with sacred crimson

Eye forever looks to the sky

Light the way for my procession

Exhumed corpses rise for the passing of the crown to the Earth

Singing to the clouds, a chorus of isolation

Bringing forth the rain that welcomes your new beginning

And I've seen mountains fall and I've seen stars collide

And now you bury me, I've never felt so small

Light the way for my procession with flames born of my fears

Show me beyond the gate

Mind encased in tomb of flesh and spirit stripped of worth

Exhumed corpses rise and drag me to the Earth
