lyrics

They came in the night
When all were asleep
They poisoned the camp dogs With tainted meat
Liars (liars)
With lurid eyes Sinners (sinners) Or sanctified
By the dying embers
They crept and encroached Into the circle
The killers approached
Cornered (cornered) And compromised Slaughter (slaughter) And sacrifice
The knives in their hands The knives at their throats The knives in their hands The knives at their throats
Let them sleep Let them sleep Let them sleep
—-
Sleep in the desert Eyes full of sand Sleep on the mountain Rot in the wind
Sleep in the current Flow with the tide Never awaken Never know why
Sleep, sleep
Sleep in the forest Heart made of wood Sleep in the cavern Echoing flood
Sleep on the train tracks Blood on the ties
Never awaken
Never know why
Sleep, sleep
As we travel on the road to Lethe we come upon a hand pointing west nailed to a post. All things of note we whisper arrive in threes my loves: the father/son/goddamn ghost, trumpet blasts, sullen hosts’ hosannas sung, expert fakers all. We’re better off out here alone. (We’re not alone.) We set out to find our saviors, but how could we have known? How could we have known? That they would find us first. They would find us. They would find us first.
