We, the drowned
Hold our hollow hearted ground
Til we swallow ourselves down
Again.
We, the ashes,
We spend our days like matches
And burned ourselves as black as
The end.
We know not the fire in which we burn
But we sing and we sing
And the flames grow higher.
We read not the pages which we turn
But we sing, and we sing, and we sing, and we sing.
We, the wrong,
We the sewn up and long gone,
Were before and all along
Like this.
We, the drowned
The lost and found out,
We are all finished again.
