The Earth Could Only Weep Lyrics by Tanuki

The Fire The Fear The Fall

2018

If the island could gather the stones that cross its shores
We will believe
When the ocean begins to heave
To throw off the skin we wore
Call on familiar ones
To fill the holes that haunt your riddled mind
Don't let the world decay
To hold with your tongue and the fortune you'll find
DIVE
Through the sea we surrendered
JUST LEAVE BEHIND
All of the helpless in need
The earth will swallow the blighted whole
The coding of discourse
Grabbing at words like a silent sore
It's the medicine for this cancerous core
Take the parts of this that spell out their defeat
A message forgotten and promises broke
A flood we've forgiven
And the fire it woke
DIVE
Through the sea we surrendered
JUST LEAVE BEHIND
All of the helpless in need
The earth will swallow the blighted whole
RUN
From the sands as they swell
LIKE EVERYONE
We're not any better than them
Our bodies return to the ground
The same as the crown
The heavens have closed
And the earth could only weep
THEY SAY THAT WE SOLD
OUR SORRY STATE NOT WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD
WITH MURDEROUS BLOWS
THEY TORE OUT THE FEAR
BATHED IN THE BLOOD THAT FLOWS
WE WON'T KNOW LOVE
We won't know love
NO WE WON'T KNOW LOVE
We won't know love
TILL THE WORLD IS DEAD AND GONE
OR SO THEY SAY
SO THEY SAY
SO THEY
