This horizon ties your hands Pray for mercy as you sink below Through the thunder, until the rain falls, we're alone Look at the way she stares You want to make her suffer Bury your face in sand Keep it smothered Hurry, avert your eyes and hold them still Dig deep your lines Stop your breathing No words, only sound Slow steps Heed no one No heat, only shrouds The elders sway The cowards fall They couldn't find a way No hope or fear of floating No one for you to know They couldn't find a way Through the thunder, until the rain falls, we're alone Through the sandstorm, until the soil floods we're as bone I'm an island I built my wall's stone too tall Wait upon your shore Maybe there sails an escape for you So you race to the end, and then you hurtle towards another one So you pray for the wind Then you race to the end I'm through counting
