One step follows the last,
Weaving through the trees,
Spots the house with his third eye,
Silenced by the wind.
He knocks down the door to the fortress ,
Once open to thief's and fools,
With the steel and her temple at one,
She screams, he pulls.
The sound of the trumpets scream
With the love from her heart,
She falls down on to one knee,
Grasping on to his shirt.
Warnings fall on deaf ears,
As the ocean turns red.
The last beat plays on her heart,
As he lays down on her bed.
We drain the blood of Mother
And sacrifice the tides.
Forget the love of others,
And judge in wealth and pride.
Within the weakest of man,
I stand with open arms,
And when the stars fall from the sky,
We will rise.
We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides.
We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides.
Awoken by the brass,
The scream of their child,
The taste of death on their tongues,
And in their rapturous hearts.
(rapturous hearts)
Twenty-four, thirty-one,
As we sing in her blood
And when the earth turns grey
The steel begins to rust,
(steel begins to rust)
March to the sound of the angels drum.
March to the sound of the aliens love.
We drain the blood of Mother,
And sacrifice the tides.
Forget the love of others,
And judge in wealth and pride.
Within the weakest of man,
I stand with open arms,
And when the stars fall from the sky,
We will rise.
We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides,
We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides,
(We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides)
We drain the blood of Mother,
Sacrifice the tides.
