lyrics

Angels like dancers twirl across this veil.
Sweetly dripping off their tongues lilt warnings of
The purifying death perched behind this many-colored curtain:
The Day of Atonement has come.
He waits for you.
He waits for you.
Blue, red, purple.
Scrubbing hands and sacrifice,
The high priest parts the curtain.
Smoke steals the dim glow of burning incense and
Dulls the eyes, hides the hand
(One that trembles as offered up).
The taste of copper comes inside.
The taste of copper comes inside.
Blue, red, purple.
Twenty cubits by
Twenty cubits.

The overall tone of this one puts me in a mood! Expertly crafted dark rock, lyrics are relatable to anyone getting sick or dealing with loss through sickness…hate to use the term, but this song is SICK!!! can’t stop listening. Matt Hopper
