Mark My Words Lyrics

Here in the heights in the lights that grow foul

Cowls enshroud those that wrench from the bowels

Of the earth and search through the night

Enticed by the glimmer such a sickening rite

Power That effervescent word

It bubbles between the fingers of the withering herd

Undeterred as on the pox and mire

Slithers to our gates reclaiming what you've yearned

Oh

What have you done?

For a penny you would sell the wind from our lungs

Once stood with pride hence cast aside

A city that will choke as they bite on their tongues

Stunned as I grew alongside this

And reaped the rewards and a growing defiance

Suppliants that clawed from the earth their triumph

Our success is a problem for the future to silence

So the time passed the evil so banished the fright of the night that the firelight vanquished

Unknown to pyre and lit we beset all our fears bit them down to the quick

Split woods stacked stones till our towers groaned

A glimpse at the future and an order dethroned

Moved to our shores then hulls and oars nowhere on our mother that we could not explore

Years roar tear roll buried under these floors

Mere ore or sheer gore well either's fine when we pour

Sneer more these insincere shores

If the flames lick our doors would anyone mourn?

How has it come to this?

Reminisce of the days before the precipice

Of the abyss before what we could take appeared to us as gifts

Our quarry stands still a glimmer in the mist

How its flickers turned to shivers as our blades learned to twist

And to kiss the earth in such smirking mirth a gift to a greed to a need to a curse

Lurched onwards on such shaky legs bury the thought of the pain we've Incurred

That inflicts on us such corruption

If that's what it takes i'll usher the destruction

YES burn a mess to watch squirm

It's a lesson in aggression I'll feed to the worms

The unlearned a recompense yearns

Call it naivety I'll say that it's deserved

The culpable to be left to the ferns

Oh so combustible I'll watch how they'll squirm

When you stand on the brink you must hold yourself firm

So
