To Build a Tomb Lyrics & Tabs by Sylosis
To Build a Tomb
guitar chords lyrics
Watch as the banks break
Flooding the land into
The earth‘s heart
Fear creeps in
The stones are set with
Blood and lust
And the shadows bring what
Your despise
They move like snakes entwining
Ulcers within
War of words
Spoken in handshakes
Behind locked doors
Tongues that twist and bend
Dragging us all to our end
Behind locked doors
Tongues that twist and bend
Dragging us all to our end
And the skies turn black
And the poison seeds don‘t grow
With riches they line
Their pockets
Yet unpick the seams again
Brick by brick
You‘re closing yourself in
To build upon blood and sand
Is to build a tomb
The candles burn
The snake has spoken
Watch as they rise through
The cracks
Eyes widen as the iris turns black
Face the beckoning
The winds of change are a myth
The meek shall inherit the earth
When their bodies are set adrift
Sever the roots
That run deep and feed
Crown of thorns for
Your majesty
Failed
Mortal
Thwarted
King
To build on blood and sand
Is to build a tomb
