The fog has settled overhead
And the camera's poised and ready for the dawn
But there's no sign of morning yet to come
We're left blind deaf and dumb
From the idioms of love
But all we can do is wait
But there's so much that we have yet to leave
Life left to grieve until death's long reprieve
Breathe it in to your unholy soul
Let it in, you're no longer in control
So with every word you spent
Is this what you meant
No beauty, no love, no life.
The tears are heavy as they fall
From the eyes of the woman you once loved
And your child sits by and holds her shaking hand
As your casket sinks to land
Oh buried in the sand
But all they can do is wait
Breathe it in to your unholy hateful soul
Let it in, you're no longer in control
So with every word you've spent
Is this what you meant
No pity, no sorrow, no strife
No beauty, no love, no life
And the camera's poised and ready for the dawn
But there's no sign of morning yet to come
We're left blind deaf and dumb
From the idioms of love
But all we can do is wait
But there's so much that we have yet to leave
Life left to grieve until death's long reprieve
Breathe it in to your unholy soul
Let it in, you're no longer in control
So with every word you spent
