Lyrics
Long Time Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Rain twists shapes and hisses fear
I kiss my tears as the ground desapears
White stones fall down from the sky
Black storm clouds groan & the they start to cry
Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead
Rats in rhythim and snakes in tongues
Mud flakes and fungus are coating my lungs
Squash the doubt mankind washed out
Without machines without a prayer we cannot prepare
Fire on the frost tired and lost
The city into the sea is tossed
Liars cost mired ans scoffed
Screaming pleas as mother earth breaths
Throw away the trees blow away the breeze
Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead
Give while you're living share with me what's in your head
Sea to rising sea grey solar light
Wicked winds churning up the polar night
All living things under leaves gasp
Wather heaves fast a feat a task beliefs are smashed
Live while you're living 'cause you're a long time dead
Godswallop shatter the world at will
Thinning the herd with a flush to spill
All that matters scattered in the swill
All that matters not enough still
