Dying in Circles

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Garrett Russell] Beside the shadow of a frozen chapel Under the marriage of the cross and crown [1] Outside the privilege of the "chosen ones" The Image of God [2] is sleeping on the ground Spires pierce the sky like steel through your hands [3] Planks from our eyes [4] plunged in your side Water poured out, [5] but we want wine You said, "Take and remember" [6], but we always forget [Chorus: Garrett Russell & Thomas Freckleton] To the outcast sons, [7] to the sojourners, descendants of loss I'll hold my breath until you can breathe To truly live, I must begin anew and be consumed [8] Make a heart of flesh from these hollow stones I'm learning what it means to trade my certainty for awe [Verse 2: Garrett Russell] When you fell to your knees to wash my feet Did you see the trampled shadows stained underneath? [9] Did you hear the acrimony Perpetuated by the puppet sewn to the pulpit? [10] We forgot your life and became a people of death Spell-bound by the celibate spectacle, inhabiting mausoleums [11] [Bridge: Garrett Russell] We are the eulogy at the funeral of God [12] [Chorus: Garrett Russell] To the outcast sons, to the sojourners [13], descendants of loss Be consumed I'll hold my breath To truly live, we must begin anew Trade your certainty for awe
