Haggard hand
Your holy land
Is storm drain streets
When deluge speaks
When the flood comes for it's owner
Made of time but not of closure
Drowning in the possibilities
Laid out ahead of you
Always looking out for number one
A shallow-sighted view
The sky's a wayward vessel
That culled it's disarray
Then swelled to fill its own expanse
And birthed a thunderhead
Never the same
A thousand-thousand names
Asinos, Episkopos
The dweller trawling the abyss
For a name his own
When the flood comes for it's owner
Made of time but not of closure
Drowning in the possibilities
Laid out ahead of you
Always looking out for number one
A shallow-sighted view
I don't pretend to know me
This fire inside's still burning
I spent forty days of yearning
Calcifying songs of blame
And here I thought you'd know
Oh, that Aqua Vitae stronger
Than anything I'd find outside myself to numb away
That sulfur bursting out of me
To light a fire in the rain
A voice of flame to tame the
Sinking cities washed away
When the flood comes for it's owner
Made of time but not of closure
Stand against the tide and decide
Where to spend the rest of your time
