lyrics

The truth is in the timber
Brittle bone and sinew all that remains
So take this clay and fill your bellies
For the night is long and we have much to gain
The truth is a carcass, fly-specked, the flesh a-crawl
Who among you is brave enough?
Who among you will answer the call?
We are… Rats on fire, In the fields, In my head
Everything that rises......
The truth is in the gut pile
So let them eat, let them eat
I can recall the prairie
Better days full of oxtail and bread wheat
One more child, all I ask
For the common good
It takes a village to burn one down
As it should
So at dusk we march
First born before your fathers
The truth is in these precious boys
Fed to the blades of the harvester
We are… Rats on fire, In the fields, In my head
Everything that rises......
Black bear, black bear
Follow your nose
Everything that rises must converge
Barrow hog, sheep dog
Follow your nose
Everything that rises must converge
Soothsayer, soothsayer
Follow the smoke
Everything that rises must converge
Torchbearer, torchbearer
Follow the smoke
Everything that rises must converge

For some reason, what I previewed and the real songs was somewhat different - maybe because of the cover art? But I definitely don't regret something more spacial than expected. The recent Ocean drifting in space. frankwurst
