CALIGULA'S HORSE LYRICS

1. A Gift To Afterthought


Here and now it ends

We don't remember the first crack
But we will all recall the flood
There go the edges son, but just you wait
I never thought that we would go this way

We stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feet

This is more than each of us
This will be the end of us now,
I swear it
Believe me
Just one word
And welcome home was all we heard
Through bars we built ourselves
They'd already won
Just one word
And welcome home the empty herd
She always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!"

We left the tyrant, now undone
Drowning at his river's end
We turned our feet to run
The words had called us, son:
We knew the world could end by just one

Just one word
And welcome home was all we heard
Through bars we built ourselves
They'd already won
Just one word
We should have known
The empty herd
She always said that we would soon forget
But there's one word left in the box yet

As stone turns to dust around us
This gift to afterthought brings her own weaknesses
Opening the prison door comes as no consolation to us standing here at the end

There go the edges, son

We stand at the edge and watch the whole world crash around our feet

This is more than each of us
This will be the end of us now,
I swear it
Believe me
Just one word
And welcome home was all we heard
Through bars we built ourselves
They'd already won
Just one word
And welcome home the empty herd
She always said "I won't believe it - You've found your voice, now let me hear it!"

Hope


2. Water's Edge


Cool water
Lay yourself down
Deep, silent
Let yourself drown

Bathe in the light as morning brings us home
Light gives way to gravity
Centre me (Water's edge)
Look for me (Water's edge)
Released

Cool water
Lay yourself down
Deep, silent
Let yourself drown

To the fray you pay no mind
But the blood we share dispels disguise
You're weak and human, just as lost as I
Try and stand against the tide
Your grip on all they know begins to slide
Repeat the words "I'm fine."

Just know they're blameless in all of this
But still content to walk on broken glass beside him
To just let go
To walk away unscathed while others stay to take the fall

Choice it fades; compassion guides
Through the flames of selfless suffering you stride
The weight will pull you down in time
In their vacant, open eyes
You find no empathy behind their smiles
Without control, survive

Just know they're blameless in all of this
But still content to walk on broken glass beside him
To just let go
To walk away unscathed while others stay to take the fall

We spit truth like fire

Break your bonds and hear me:
I have heard your words, and I am unchanged
Walls of wood and stone fall
But we are of words

We spit truth like fire


3. Atlas


Gently waking
A final skyward sigh
Please, send me safely home
It's almost time
Goodbye

Lay me down

The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like going home is etched on every page

Fragile Atlas
He carries that old smile
He will stay his weary arms
To just lay down a while

Lay me down
The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like going home is etched on every page

No!
Won't accept that's the way I go
(By my) quiet hand, sinking slow
Won't accept that's the way it ends
(Won't you) stay like stone and mend
I'll wear the words like Atlas, never said The day
I chose to stay
I wish I could have shared just a fraction of the peace that I found then
My friend

The ocean at my window
Here I find myself again
All broken bones and eyes that wear their age
Like going home is etched on every page


4. Into The White


Into the white
The scent of fire behind
First steps to freedom are lighter than we ever knew

Called through the cold
We hold our daughters close
And sing to our sons
Change will surely come

Into the white
Broken faith leaves scars behind
We embrace them
Carry broken shackles by our side

Called through the cold
We hold our daughters close
And sing to our sons
Change will surely come

We left our prayers with our old gods
White hand, release
Leaves in the fading smoke
So easy to forget the voice that never spoke

Walking our own road
Each step, each breath
We are fighting for our lives
And we are losing every one
The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for
And still we hold on

In time

Into the white
The road is mine, and I am his
Our last steps as free men
Proud at the end. It comes to this.

Called through the cold
Road to a home we'll never know
We gave to our sons a heavy burdened hope

We left our prayers with our old gods
Hold on
Till dawn
Lost like our steps in snow
So easy to forget the way
The road we make, we own

Walking our own road
Each step, each breath
We are fighting for our lives
And we are losing every one
The things we gave up for a dream we are still waiting for

We were so young then
Firelight holds their peace
Sing farewell by smoke in the cold
We farewell the old
As they fall to silence


5. Old Cracks In New Earth


We will, I will remember the flood


6. Dark Hair Down


Down
It was his neck or her wrist
Clean nails on iron fist
Dreams of peace beyond the wall
She'd cry out for mercy but she had no voice at all

Here
Here and now it ends
This quiet victory
Her promise she would make amends
He lay not yet cold on the ground
This day of all days she would wear her dark hair down

This time the wheel has come around
Free of her cage she crows with a fearless sound
"Your fists can't hurt me now"
A fearless sound
She'll wear her dark hair down

Down
And blood brought the answer that time could not provide
Scars that read like home could hide
Her prison swallowed everything but piercing open eyes
She proudly bore the mark
Where his brand had met her head
She spat "The coward could not kill what was already dead."

Dark hair down
This time the wheel has come around
Free of her cage
A fearless sound

Stand and fight
This is my salvation
Blood for blood my love

With a fearless sound
"Your fists can't hurt me now"
A fearless sound
She'll wear her dark hair down

Blood for blood my love


7. Thief


We stood at the edge
And watched the world crash around us

Turned our backs
And from the wreckage ran

We watched another river end

Shadows of the light you gave us
I say my last goodbye

To the faces that made me strong

One last time


8. All Is Quiet By The Wall


When the world is quiet, just a whisper breaks your rest...

Peace
Reach for the light
Like a child
Desperate grip on the passing breeze
Cling to peace
Close to your chest
There's cracks in your voice as we sing
"When the world is quiet, just a whisper breaks your rest..."

Wait
"Give me the child, I'll give you the man!" They say
No - We'll walk through fire to fight you
Asleep or awake
It's not the simple sacrifice you planned
No
I'll wait by the wall - let them come
Here I stand

Peace
Run while you can
Rising hands speaking a language we all understand
"Forget peace"
The lie didn't take - you won't break
The spirit a martyr the mind has freed
Forget peace

The stars were just beacons then
They will make amends
Colour to his eyes
Let the light pour in
We've already lost enough time to shadows
And damned ourselves to empty oaths we wear like broken glass to make us whole

I wait
"Give me the child, I'll give you the man!" They say
No - We'll walk through fire to fight you
Asleep or awake
It's not the simple sacrifice you planned
No
I'll wait by the wall - let them come
Here I stand

Here.
Out of my cage
Free
Out of this place... Finally

Hand in hand with our own
This is our home. This is our home
Let our sign say: "Let them come and meet their end"
Now the world is quiet, this is where we make our stand
