Martyr Alone Lyrics by Exalt

The Shape You Took Before the Ache

2016

A year sought for warmth and light
I wrapped sheets around my eyes
Breathed new sight into my mind
A strength I will belie

Entangled in your virgin dust
Rope tied vein to vein
Connect me to your failing body
So I can understand your pain

Encase me in your ribs
I'll breathe through your hollowed spine
I've forgotten the warmth of the sun
But I still remember the light

My peasant crown will crumble
Under the weight of your crooked bones
My peasant skin will scar and bleed
As I am martyred alone

My peasant blood will clot and burst
As you enter my solemn home
My peasant crown will crumble
Under the weight of your crooked bones
