From the unrelenting beat of a pounding drum come alive
From the ceasing breast of a wicked beast we survive
In the hallowed marriage of sound and revolt come anew
To the hollowed disparaged shed and molt overdue
Splintering fingers gore strewn across each hand
Sink deep stone sink deep stone
Splintering fingers gore strewn across each hand
Sink deep stone sink deep stone
Pray for a way out of here Pray for a way
No animal in all the kingdom
Shall ever strike me down
A coward in his finest moment
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
Be swift and painless not a glancing blow
To the back of the head to the back of the head
Be swift and painless not a glancing blow
Sink deep stone sink deep stone
Pray for a way out of here Pray for a way
A long slow pull on the briar
Ready aim When the fire burns
Callusing topping off the urns a sound remains
Look to the actor in the heavy armor his mettle shakes
Listen well to the deafening clamor whimpering makes
Look now to the unassuming unwavering
Standing before the heavens screaming
Bring on the storm Bring on the storm Bring on the rain
Bring on the jesters and bring on the pain
Bring on the storm Bring on the rain
Bring on the jesters and bring on the pain
The seed is planted Let the roots reach far and wide
Let it grow tall Let the rings remain intact on the inside
And though the autumn brings a fall of leaves let it grow tall
We come anew We come anew We come anew
x2
Look now to the unassuming unwavering
Standing before the heavens screaming
Bring on the storm Bring on the storm
