Land of the Living

Into the land of the living
Black bleeds orange into blue
I am coming to life
Light is breaking through
I can hear the bells in the city
Across the ancient shore
I am ready to fight
Let down the scarlet cord
It’s time to shed this masquerade
You cannot love in moderation
You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones
Lay your soul
On the threshing floor
Between the walls of the river
Shoulders bare the sacred stones
We made it alive
We are not alone
Kiss the ground
And change your name
You cannot love in moderation
You’re dancing with a dead man’s bones
Lay your soul
On the threshing floor
I heard the distant battle drum
The mockingbird spoke in tongues
Longing for the day to come
I set my face, forsook my fears
I saw the city through my tears
The darkness soon will disappear
And be swallowed by the sun
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
I am coming home
