Acquiescence Lyrics

How to acquiesce to the intolerable?

A cross upon my back, sand beneath my feet

Grey ooze surrounding the horizon

How to acquiesce to crucifixion?

Brown winter's passing

Taking wicked thoughts with its currents

Awakened from slumber

The time of change is naught but lies

Blackened wings letting me go

To find a new source of revelation

Ideas born anew

In the light of the burning heart

Heart in hand I shan't see

Rites of winter are upon

Me and them, they shall see

I might be broken after all

The tower crumbles and falls

The illusion is shattered and the truth is revealed

In the wake of clouded firmament

Cold shadows appear on the desert seas

My marionette sheds its skin

And leaves a trail on the northern dune

Derelict, frail framework made of brass

These grains of sand, they shatter like glass

I cannot predict where the road might lead

Self-inflicted wounds demand remedy

In the cursed land of uncertainty

I should suffer no more

Just to sing songs from days of yore

Brown winter's passing

And it brings us no change

I shall end this agony

And relieve us both from all this sand

Heart in hand I shan't see

Rites of winter are upon

Me and them, they shall see

All might be broken after all
