You Became I

歌詞

I once knew that everything around me leapt for you And I spoke with fiery tongue of heavens fall and of your kingdom come The words I was saying were leaving with ease but countered the actions that follow my feet Oh the seduction of meaningless things I've been eating from gravesides Swearing oaths to the fairest of moons Trading masters by firelight And sleeping in their tombs All creation waits - Aching for the day (Earth, the sky, and savage tide will vanish under heavens rise - falling, fading) There is no escape - From what the author fates (Greater souls than we conceive - Concern themselves with our retreat) I've been drifting in my words I've been shifting my affection to whatever love may call my name Babel were your men so dim To build their gods and worship them Erect escape in increments And place their faith in intellect Now we've been weeping at gravesides Swearing hope is an island away Just a spark for the firelight To keep despair at bay My brothers, we are foolish If this is how we think we can exist, there is no hope We are all hopeless, we are broken No tower built could ever save our souls There is no hope, there is no All creation waits Aching for the day (Falling, fading) There is no escape From what the author fates (Falling, fading) We've been living in shadows Soon exposed to the light Our existence will rupture When the maker arrives Every vanity shattered Every galaxy frayed We will suffer no longer In these delicate frames But no man knows the season or the time And fault will find us all in guilty lives And only mercy can a hope provide Return, Repent, Before deep heaven falls upon our heads.
