Break the light a shining storm
Little babe my baby born
Holding on to give you life
Holding on to calm respite
And building fires to keep you warm
Palisades a palace home
Lay your boards on shifting sands
Mercy to the tides command
Call on consternation
All eyes to my kingdom come
Already ashes around me
Lord see my will undone
There's only nothing behind me
And nothing can bring new life
So when she's rushing to see me
Please cover both her eyes
She needs him for her still abode
But born to watch his walls erode
All we are is just a dream
Pull apart a memory
And every man must walk alone
Motel room or borrowed throne
Vanish with the ground you laid
All you called your own reclaimed
Call on consternation
All eyes to my kingdom come
Already ashes around me
Lord see my will undone
There's only nothing behind me
And nothing can bring new life
So when she's rushing to see me
Please cover both her eyes
