A world sewn together by filthy and calloused hands.
lyrics
The sunken eyes and pitiful smiles of the world...they left me up
The pitiful weathered bones..the fossils of the common folk..
..they lift me up
You know that my lungs give a thousand breaths at a time.
WE LIVE JUST LIKE LEVIATHAN
ONE THOUSAND BREATHS AT A TIME
WE SINK BACK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE WRETCHED DEPTHS AGAIN
The twilight turns to abyss
No sunlight...cold emptiness
That's where I find myself
That's where I find myself
The sunken eyes and pitiful smiles of the world...they lift me up
The working hands, the architects, the relics of their blood and sweat..
..they lift me up
MY STEADY LIMBS
WILL CEASE TO SWING
WHEN ALL THE HEAVENS OPEN UP TO LET ME IN
AND WHEN I SING
HOLD UP YOUR HEAVY HEAD
PRAY TO THOSE ARCHITECTS
AND WHEN I SCREAM
THE WORLD CAVES IN
YOUR HUMAN HEARTS
THEY LIFT ME UP
