lyrics
Mother, I should know
when the four hands align, the hour’s arrived.
The blood from the severed heart
is drained for the child, who drinks it and smiles.
Is he going to see, to see what I see,
a greater purpose?
It’s too late to plan, to change who I am,
leave it all to be somebody else.
Don’t tell me that we’re out of time here,
that all the effort made to make amends
was wasted all on vain endeavors, my friend…
Wait to say your final words,
you’ll have your last goodbyes.
Persevere and you will survive.
Save your final words,
and keep your last goodbyes inside.
Wait for the life that I haven’t lived.
Brother, if you would,
weld his soul to his body, inhuman and godly.
If he dies, then this dying earth
will swallow the curtain, cleansing its burden.
Is he going to see, to see what I see,
a greater purpose?
A slip of the knife could swiftly decide
everything for centuries to come.
Don’t tell me that we’re out of time here,
that all the effort made to make amends
was wasted all on vain endeavors, my friend…
Wait to say your final words,
you’ll have your last goodbyes.
Persevere and you will survive.
Save your final words,
and keep your last goodbyes inside.
Wait for the life that I haven’t lived.
Lover, do you see an end to the things I’ve done?
Can you recommend better paths to run away?
The signs, it seems, have specified
the same old winding dreams
where years have passed in droves,
and eons likewise so.
Wait to say your final words,
you’ll have your last goodbyes.
Persevere and you will survive.
Save your final words,
and keep your last goodbyes inside.
Wait for the life that I haven’t lived.
when the four hands align, the hour’s arrived.
The blood from the severed heart
is drained for the child, who drinks it and smiles.
Is he going to see, to see what I see,
a greater purpose?
It’s too late to plan, to change who I am,
leave it all to be somebody else.
Don’t tell me that we’re out of time here,
that all the effort made to make amends
was wasted all on vain endeavors, my friend…
Wait to say your final words,
you’ll have your last goodbyes.
Persevere and you will survive.
Save your final words,
and keep your last goodbyes inside.
Wait for the life that I haven’t lived.
Brother, if you would,
weld his soul to his body, inhuman and godly.
If he dies, then this dying earth
will swallow the curtain, cleansing its burden.
Is he going to see, to see what I see,
a greater purpose?
A slip of the knife could swiftly decide

Don’t tell me that we’re out of time here,
that all the effort made to make amends

Wait to say your final words,
you’ll have your last goodbyes.
Persevere and you will survive.
Save your final words,
and keep your last goodbyes inside.
Wait for the life that I haven’t lived.

Every single member of this band is incredibly skilled in their own right, but I love how much they accentuate each other's talents into these masterful tracks. The whole album is excellent. I'm so happy they were finally able to come to my home state and perform. Incredible band, can't wait to listen to what comes next.
