Think I`m stranded
but I don`t know where
I got this diamond
that don`t know how to shine
In the sun where
these dark winds wail
And these children
leave their rulers behind
As we cross ten leagues
from a Rubicon
With matchsticks for my bones
If we could learn
how to freeze ourselves alive
We could learn to leave
these burdens to burn
Cast out these creatures of woe
Who shattered themselves
Fighting a fire with
your bare hands
Now my journey takes me
further south
I want to hear what
the blind men sing
With their fossils
and their gypsy bones
I`ll stand beside myself
so I`m not alone
And how can I make new again
What rusts every time it rains
And the rain it comes
and floods our lungs
We`re just orphans
in a tidal wave`s wake
If I wake up and
see my maker coming
With all of his crimson
and his iron desire
We`ll drag the streets
with the baggage of longing
To be loved or destroyed
From a void to a grain of sand
in your hand
