Carson Slovak - A Great Mistake lyrics

I, the burning arrow for the other shore And seething with a callous rage A sacred object with a hollow core And actor on an empty stage We from the shadow will extend our hands And turn our gaze towards the flame The pathways darken as the poison spreads We languish in this land of waste I wish for a great mistake To carry us away And for an old beginning Where everything's the same May this strip our minds away And lead us to our early graves; Contorted and exhausted faces Soiled and ashamed Writhe Your brittle sanctum where your madness grows A crumbling heart cursed by faith Within, our visions are like fractured gla** We lick the venom from the blade The red moon rises as the black rain falls Revealing the blood upon our hands The past we harken as the gateways close Release the plague upon the lands We saw the signs And we towed the line We're lost reflections of forgotten time Realizing, despising I wish for a great mistake To carry us away And for an old beginning Where everything's the same May this strip our minds away And lead us to our early graves; Contorted and exhausted faces Soiled and ashamed
