J. Tillman - Age of Man lyrics

Holy visions Barren spirit Earthly comforts in the weeks after the end Keeping watch for a highway that could steer The endless brother from the gods that trespa**ed here Countless images no more avenged or feared In the Age of Man In the Age of Man Unwed covenant Brazen promise Diseased music sounds no longer in my ears Birds will as they always have proclaimed Sculpted stone left unattended rose away The light in the cavern and the orchard is the same In the Age of Man In the Age of Man Nameless purpose Blessed Union Godless children free to sing the untamed will The stake in through the hands that stole his d**h False bride revealed and stripped of unwon righteousness No more inherent to those born upon the breast In the Age of Man In the Age of Man A scarecrow lying facedown in the gra** The wooden beams resemble something from the past Not long enough to make him hide from the day's task In the Age of Man In the Age of Man
