LITHA (Epilogue)

Official Lyrics

Sun king, reach the height of power

I place my fate inside the seed

Come unfurled as it tangles through the soil

My mistaken death, I saw it sprout its leaves

 

And so it ripened in the dead wood

I place it back into the earth

To grow then push it down, it’s rotting from the inside

Hang my mouth open but never quench my thirst

 

And now, you’ll never get away

The scythe that harvests, it destroys

The things it sowed on your best days

So, kill it slow

Let it die and fade away

The happiest you’ve ever seen

With nothing left but time to sow again

 

Sun king, crystallize to pollen

Would it be better if I could

Grow your kingdom, tend your garden, be your martyr

Or hinge my jaw open but never get my fill

 

And now, hope they never get away

From the plague I put upon their homes

My buried dead, their reaching arms

Will find you

And bring you back to me

A sovereign bloodstain on my hands

The happiest I’ve ever been

 

May my hurt bleed like a fire

Destroy all it encounters

Revenge all my afflictions

Only over

When I say I’m done

 

My scythe slices at the knees

To bow down, all those deserving

My power, mine ever after

Only over

Never over
