Written as part of the recording process of the Songs for an Apocalypse album in 2000

lyrics

I heard a whisper worming through the ground
In the warm moist soil, a hollow sound
It isn’t true, although maybe it is,
The worm had stolen this bitter kiss

It wasn’t his to be passing around
To carry inside him beneath the ground
It isn’t true this sticky pain
So silent whisper please hush again

No, it’s worse than a lie, for lies are weak
And this wicked creature need hardly speak
It opens its mouth and it utters a stare
And my warm flesh is tortured all skeleton bare

It just isn’t true though that hope ever died
This thing stole the truth and with it died
So bring down forgiveness o child of the cross
Pour it into the wounds where we suffered the loss

Spirit remind us for I swear we’ll forget
That hope will not pass till we see heaven yet
Father take hold of us and straighten us up
Empty our mouths and refill our cup

So bring to our lips words that are true
To the spirit inside not the stupid things we do
And I pray that we’ll change on the outside as well
How can we build heaven when we treat this place like hell?
