lyrics
buy track
The ghosts of my past hang around me like so many wind chimes their constant janglings they taunt me, reminding me of what I've done a scarlet ibis perched outside on the power lines too far north of the tropics, feathers bright as blood I've laid waste, filled graves / left fire blazing in my wake but no more, closed doors / the years that the locust have eaten, will be restored Whispers plotting my destruction burn my ears like fire I try to outrun my accusers with murder on their lips my misdeeds piled up against me, logs in a funeral pyre my head weighs heavy on my shoulders, and I gasp as the wind shifts I've laid waste, filled graves / left fire blazing in my wake but no more, closed doors / the years that the locust have eaten, will be restored Grace obliterates my chains / my dark heart is washed in a crimson rain / my fields desolate and bare crops begin to grow and seed fills the air I've laid waste, filled graves / left fire blazing in my wake but no more, closed doors / the years that the locust have eaten the years that the locust have eaten / the years that the locust have eaten, will be restored
