Stranger - Jungles lyrics

Swamp legs and the feeling of the edge I live and die by the holy blowfly, ought to web it instead Snake man, cut by the healing hands I never burned on lake desire and caught your fevers instead Aimless, with a sense of dangerous I’ll rip and tear for an equal share and I call your manners undead Cruel hands bound by mechanical bands We haven’t heard of your god or the word and we pray to our motherland (For greed they’ve come for king thеy’ll die Faces of gold and eyеs that shed a little fire Chew through our lands and mark our stones Out in the night we see their desecrating steps) From the temples top to the bottom of the sea It speaks in me I ask for silence please Show the way and nourish the pain and let me seek peace Wicked in the way that you’re always telling me to cease And I’ll always fear that you’ll never hear all our own mysteries Conjure me when you’re feeling far away Never forget that I died so that you could stay I believe I can retreat now I need an ancient sleep now In the words of the moon Speak the sins Tastes of fear Bitter fruit swallowed whole Lines of fire in the trees Reflect light We raise our hands up to the sky Dance in skulls that come knee high When the wind whispers in our ears we lose our minds Feel as one with blood and wine Insects calling on divine Clouds make way for the serpent (Teeth and fire) And all our lands are overrun Aspect of dread floats on and on Just skin and bone I am an empty man I’ll never hold my angel's hand Maintain the aspect of the land to keep it evermore Under the influence of souls that keep your mind onboard Raining rivers of blood that washes steel away Leave it caked into the sand and watch the vipers lay Wait all night At sunrise Flee, child! From the temples top to the bottom of the sea It speaks in me I ask for violence please Rivers of blood, a valley in flood, and you’re so Wicked in the way that you’re always telling me to be I can barely feel, we will never break free of these cages Think of you, but you feel like a memory I’m at rest ‘cause I know that you’re far away Spirits, please, I’m barely breathing now Mother! Wrap me in your earthly gown
