Brazen Tongue - Walking the Parapets Lyrics

Speaking words that bring fire
To the hearts of fallen men
Bringing kindling to the pyre
Written down in purest form

Hearing sounds of holy memory
Catch upon the wind
Becoming mist on blackened earth
Names that no one speaks again

To walk the parapets
To view the grand design
To hear the dim and stifled sound
Of crackling embers, sorrows drowned

To be
To see and comprehend
To understand
To gaze beyond the veil
And find it empty
Find it dead

For what was it made
The infinite and the ultimate jest

Reaching out to the end
A silent voice beyond
To know that it devoured
Both the one who called
And the one whose name
Was kindling for its flame

To walk the parapets
To view the grand design
To hear the dim and stifled sound
Of crackling embers, sorrows drowned
