OLD MAN GLOOM LYRICS

1. Procession of the Wounded

Through the trees we wander
Broken branches on the ground
Procession of the wounded
To the water's edge

Stripped bare
Sun warms chilled flesh
We gasp as we submerge our bodies
In autumn's cold embrace

2. Heel to Toe

Glassy eyes
Devilish smile
Grown up baby
Make it cry
Make it sing
When it should sleep
Wake the others
So they see

Close your eyes
You're the instrument
Close your eyes
You will feel this

Heel to toe

Gasp for air
Lying there
Gut in spasms
From expression
Baby laughs
Baby cries
Can't escape
Pinned in place

3. The Bleeding Sun

Face the burning waves
Welcome the bleeding sun
So filled with life
The body can't contain

Where once you stood
Climbs vapor to the stars

Where did you go?

4. Canto de Santos

Gas cloud burning through the sky
Language we can't hear
"We are coming, you all will die"
You were right to live in fear

We've been watching and we think
You'd be better suited
As fetal pigs or frogs to teach
Or lab rats to test pharmaceuticals

No more watching
No more waiting
Intervening
They are coming

A whole new world of their design
We are only livestock
Ants beneath the feet of gods
They do not hear us

They make our children loving pets
While ornate trophies of our heads
Adorn the walls, impress the guests
They had no need for the rest

They are coming

5. Death Rhymes

Water holds your memory
Wading deep in casualty
Tears we cry wash away
Drunk on old times today

Death rhymes
Crawling on my brain
Death rhymes
They don't sound the same

Rivers flowing, heaven sent
Running faster, we repent
Tears we cry wash away
Drunk on old times today

Death rhymes
Crawling on my brain
Death rhymes
They don't sound the same
Death rhymes
Taken way too far
Death rhymes
With a fading star

6. In Your Name

Locked out and laughing
Forced to return
Let in in pieces
To scald my tormentor

Gathered in cold cutting light
Songs of survivors carried on the air
Tears spatter earth
Ashes sink into shadow

In your name
We are cleansed
In your name
We rejoice
In this current
We carry on
We sing your name
To carry you home

Solemn air shattered
As voices join together
To laugh and to forget
To hold each other close
Eyes dance across the table
As all are gathered 'round
In honor of the dead
We feast to live anew

Sing your name

7. Love Is Bravery

Love is strength
Love is power
In a world so jaded
Your love is bravery
I am not afraid
I will never cower
In a world so lost
Your love is bravery

Life seems bleak
It all seems hopeless
We're too short on time
To wallow in despair
We only have now
We only have each other
What we do right now
Will be our legacy
We all fail
We all make mistakes
It's only human
Wanting to give up
Hold each other up
When we can't hold ourselves
Pull each other through
When we're lost in the dark

They will try
But we don't break

Love is strength
Love is power
In a world so jaded
Your love is bravery
I am not afraid
I will never cower
In a world so lost
Your love is bravery

We are not weak
We are not lesser
When fear engulfs the world
Your love is bravery
We are not meek
Though sometimes we will falter
They will try to break us
But our love is bravery
