Head Wound City - Avalanche In Heaven lyrics

Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash! Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven's trash Eternity's too long a wait kneeling at the cross Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts I could go blind Sleep 1,000 years Still I'd see you every night Like a reflection in the mirror Can't clean to disappear Still I see you every night Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash! Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven's trash Eternity's too long a wait kneeling at the cross Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts All the stars will hang, the sky will take a bow The moon will flash a fang in an executioner's gown All the tongues of Babel will call you by your name Along that hidden path hand in hand again Tie me to the rack! Feed me to the lash! Light me up atop a pile of holy Heaven's trash Eternity's too long a wait kneeling at the cross Flood the gates of paradise to wash you from my thoughts An avalanche in heaven, a rapture in reverse I'll stand beneath the ladder to worship at your curse The martyrs will return to bask amongst the flame Along that hidden path hand in hand again All the stars will hang, the sky will take a bow The moon will flash a fang in an executioner's gown All the tongues of Babel will call you by your name Along that hidden path hand in hand again
