Phinehas - Communion For Ravens lyrics

[Sean McCulloch:] The smell of wine turned Bread beneath the gallows tree Ode to the nameless: a hooded child Communion for Ravens No hope to lose; no past to mourn Born a slave deep in the earth A famine-stricken cursed womb Nothing is sacred The only escape is d**h You would torture my family To litter my tomb I refuse to live dead any longer Hooks on the wall over open flame (silence escape) Bowing heads into the earth (no hope; no name) Hooks on the wall over open flame (silence escape) Bowing heads into the earth (no hope; no name) I refuse to live dead any longer I refuse to live dead any longer I refuse to live dead any longer I refuse to live dead any longer The smell of wine turned Bread beneath the gallows tree Ode to the nameless: a hooded child Communion for Ravens [Jimmy Ryan (Sean McCulloch):] I saw the stone walls fall Crushing their will to dust Swept away with the river’s current But still, I see every face (I refuse to live dead any longer) In blood or in famine Silence escape Grow old to die here No hope; no name [Both:] I refuse to live dead any longer [Sean McCulloch & Jimmy Ryan:] The smell of wine turned Bread beneath the gallows tree Ode to the nameless: a hooded child Communion for Ravens [Sean McCulloch (Jimmy Ryan) {both}:] {I refuse to live dead any longer} I refuse to live dead any longer (I refuse to live dead any longer) I refuse to live dead any longer (I refuse to live dead any longer)
