Zaphnath-paaneah

I watch the crows circle

I watch them circle high

The bread atop my head wont last

This feast is about worn out

Pluck out my eyes

Eat my meat and bread

Dive in, dive in

Wing and feather

Grab hold the flesh tether

Zaphnath-paaneah

Water rises

Water recedes

The fat cow will outlast

The other, dont you see?

Hes gonna fucking eat you

Pluck out my eyes

Eat my meat and bread

Dive in, dive in

Wing and feather

Grab hold the flesh tether

Zaphnath-paaneah

The king doesn't see

what's there in front of me

The jailed, they all fail

to find the meaning

Find the meaning...

Technicolor dreams

they scream

of famine and disease

Zaphnath-paaneah

Pluck out my eyes

eat my meat and bread

Dive in, dive in

Wing and feather

Grab hold the flesh tether

Zaphnath-paaneah

Wing and Feather

Zaphnath-paaneah

Dive in, dive in

Zaphnath-paaneah

Grab hold the flesh tether

Zaphnath-paaneah

Wake

The Dead Travel Fast

I saw you there in the corner of the room
Legs bent up at the knee
"The dead travel fast"
I heard it when you looked at me
The quickest way into your heart
Is the day I leave and my soul departs
Just scatter me like the leaves
All wind swept and hell bent
On getting caught up in your eaves
I likened you to a fish in the sea
I likened you to an owl in a tree
But darling its not you its me
A thousand times and I'd try again
But I am likened to the tree
10,000 leaves
And I can't even pick out me
