about

Belief in the natural over the supernatural

lyrics

Enemy at the gates
Enemy inside

Storming without warning
Daggers drawn

Liquid cool of flesh on steel
Manifest, smoke, conceal

Shattered mirror
Crystal prop
Revel in the dark

Play the part
Study cards
Divine the stars

Wield the charms
Coat of arms
Protect from harm

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

Nothing is sacred
No magic here

Vision shrouded like a veil
What do you revere?

See the sword that's bending
Shifting, never ending

See the little serpents
Slither past the hermit

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

Protect from harm
Protect from harm
Protect from harm

How can I live in a house that's already burned?
Will you store my memories as ashes in an urn?
Who, if not you, can grant the mercy that I've earned?
Why wait for what will never come, concern for which I yearn?
Do I light the lamps of a temple, pray for your return?
Can I read from your books if I've already learned?
Where will we meet when we're no longer of this earth?
What crimson visions wait beyond what I can discern?
Should I disappear in the fog or spread like a fern?
Should I rise above the tide or sink beneath its churn?

Is my heart a ruby red, are your eyes an emerald green?
Am I a gem to possess or a jagged ravine?
What’s kept in your coffers under lock and key?
If I cannot tightly hold, then what do I need?
Would you bind me down and claim me, rather than be free?
How can I mend what I could not have foreseen?
What bitter end am I trying to redeem?
Why cleave a tree rather than plant another seed?
Did a black cat cross your path, were you hexed by a seer?
Who hurt you, and does it hurt the same as me?
