The Great Divide

The sky divides

A brilliant white

An offering

So tonight

I sink the tide

And close my eyes

Can you hear it?

It's calling me

It's an absolution burning in my hand

They'll let you down, my friend

It's harrowing

I am the mountain

Staring at the bull

Blood in his eyes again

Save your skin the suffering

And hold to hope

The bled beware

They're crying out

I know the sound

But don't you fear it

It's calling me

It's an absolution burning in my hand

They'll let you down, my friend

It's harrowing

I am the mountain

Staring at the bull

Blood in his eyes again

Fall in line

Up against the wall

Not this time

I'm not listening anymore

Now you know

The animal is inside us all

But you don't have to crawl

It's calling me

It's an absolution burning in my hand

They'll let you down, my friend
