Lyrics

Blow wind! Howl, now that Summer has lost her fire
Now I drink to the pleasure of your fall

The dark and jagged mirrors of The Lord
The dark and jagged mirrors of The Lord
You worship your god with fire, your god will burn you with fire

Too dumb to see you're the harm, you fold while holding cards
The father's grief and desire has jumped a fair child's mind

Is Jesus holed up out in the desert?
Is Jesus holed up out in the desert?
Who worships their god in sand? You worship your god in sand

In the hot sun revealing
A skin so orange it's peeling
A boiler suit sets you scheming
The blood red sun burns the sky

Gunmetal sky that hangs heavy above you
Feathers fly by from the ones that are hunting you

Glory! Glory!

Soaring birds swoop down to pick and to peck at you
Fall to your knees, deliver your speech to the world.
