Song for the Dying - ThouShaltNot

Sleep not as an island

Pillar of the trenches seven miles deep

But ground yourself with Jacob’s ladder

Rocks and bridges holding back disease

And when you cannot move

Let Earth then move herself to hold you up

For if you push away her arms

They’ll not return

Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin?

Do you know a thousand battles wage within?

Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your

feet?

Alone, you cannot win

Blink if you can hear me

From across the untold miles where proud you stand

Hold on to your humility

Hold on to your life, like I hold on to your hand

Hold on to something stronger than blood

Something stronger than words

Something stronger than empty air we breathe

When weaker is all we seem to be

Do you feel the blood divide beneath your skin?

Do you know a thousand battles wage within?

Do you see your own reflection when you stare into the rising water at your

feet?

Alone, you cannot win

Everything will go tonight

Earth will overflow tonight

It’s all in who you know tonight
