Lyrics

[Verse 1] You've got the lot to burn A shelve of pig-smothered cries Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs? [Pre-Chorus] Is anybody there? (Spines in a row) These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow) Bayonet trials, rust propellers await [Chorus] No Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smiles for the dead Nobody is heard [Verse 2] An antiquated home Afloat with engines on mute Sui generis ship spined around the yard [Pre-Chorus] Is anybody there? (Spines in a row) These craft only multiply (Spined as an arrow) At the nape of ruins, rust propellers await [Chorus] No Nobody is heard Compass wilting in the wind (kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod) Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smile for the dead [Post-Chorus] Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Lash of a thousand eyebrows clicking Counting the toll, counting the toll [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] You've got the lot to burn A shelve of pig-smothered cries Is there a spirit that spits upon the exit of signs? [Pre-Chorus] Is anybody there? (Spines in a row) These steps keep on growing long (Spined as an arrow) Bayonet trials, rust propellers await [Chorus] No Nobody is heard Compass wilting in the wind (kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod) Nobody is heard Rowing sheep smile for the dead [Post-Chorus] Trans-oceanic depths in this earth, in this cenotaph [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] (kcab nrut t'nod, kcab nrut t'nod) Carpal jets hit the ground Carpal jets hit the ground Carpal jets hit the ground Carpal jets hit the ground [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking Counting the toll, counting the toll Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking Counting the toll, counting the toll
