Deader than Thou Lyrics


Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light

Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright

Wish you had sight eyes to see

The plight, the curse upon thee

The plague of eternity

Sprouting of thy tainted sanctity

Forbidden fruit of a polluted tree

I never thought I'd be the one

Thy kingdom undone

But how could you ever know?

How could you ever see?

You've always been deader than me

Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light

Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright

If you had eyes to see would you turn on me?

You lit the pyre, I let it be

Like father, like son

The fire burns the hands that fell the tree

Wish you had ears to hear

Our tacet scream

You did this to them

And they did this to me

So I'll do it you now

An eye for a being

May the end set us all free

I made the seeds bleed

Made the mountains move

Infected clouds quiver

And the ground too

I gave everything to see this through

I'll die to make the sky cry

Out of the shadows, snuffed out thy light

Black sun eternal, a burnout so bright

If you had eyes to see would you be ashamed of me?

You lit the pyre, I let it be

Like father, like son

The fire burns the hands that fell the tree

I never thought I'd be the one

Thy kingdom undone

How could you ever know?

How could you ever see?

You've always been deader than me

Yet the stain remains

A mark so profane

I never thought I'd see the sky cry for rain
