When Time Topples the Obelisk Lyrics by So Much Light

2013

What will it mean
When all my bronze goes green?
When time topples the obelisk
Will it be obvious what made it lean?
By your breath I oxidize
It's an altogether common alchemy
That only serves to underwhelm my love
I want it back
But I haven't lost it yet
You've grown so well so full
Of course you've thrived
But I don't thrive
I fester like a cut
And when I'm cut
I bleed not red
But black and acrid blood
I'm cut
And when I'm cut
There is not iron
But charcoal in my blood
Ancient goddess altar
Denies, repels my offering
That's wonderful
I guess I've filled the tabernacle
A warming light
Out of the altar, oh
I don't know what it means
A soothing voice
Out of the altar, oh
Don't know what it said
A chilling wind
Out of the altar, brrr
I don't know where it's from
On sacred ground
In front of the altar, oh
What am I doing here?
What am I doing here?
Don't know why I'm here
What am I doing here?
