Lyrics

[Verse] Like a blind tern Its flight is caged, its wings are weighted and drawn Like highs with low ends Peaking resplendence before a downward spiral Like an old oak It swells and dries with the turn of the seasons Like a sneaking boar Digs through the layers of loam and of dirt and time [Chorus] For the jewel of a jewel of a jewel So does the weeping mother probe her clutch Like an old worn oak beam swells and dries In the wetness and the turn of the seasons So does flesh [Bridge] Your corpse laid out like a fouled white sponge Clumps of muscle and skin freed from the shame of being you It's not enough to succeed when others must fail A dry heaving circus of inhumanity [Chorus] Like the sneaking boar with a haunch packed with lead Digs through layers of loam and dirt for the jewel of a jewel For the jewel of a jewel of a jewel So does the weeping mother probe her clutch Miracle boon of the muddy banks
