Blood From The Air lyrics

A sleeping explorer, his wandering mind

Crossed over the border

A mind like a cemetery where the corpses are turning

Where the bodies twist deep

In the frozen grip of a dreamless sleep

Then the lowest comes up

Like a wreck from the depths

He hears night calling and has dreams of waking

Here in this brightness

That burns like slow lightning

He sees words burnt in ice

And reads that the world is a wound

And the body of Christ

Effects of the animal, animal sound effects

He says, "Death, he is my friend

He's promised me a quick end"

The world is in pain

And should be put down

And God is a sadist

And that he knows it

The depths of the night skies

Reflects in his eye

He says, "Everything changes

(Nine knives of ice)

And everyone dies"

And the night slits her veins

And the darkness drains

And the void rumbles in

Like an underground train

Forever comes closer

The world is in pain

We all must be shown, we must realise

That everyone changes and everything dies
