Buried Beds - Oh Lonely Fortress! lyrics

There's always been a buzz
The locusts swarming up
From underneath our guilty feet
A giant underground
With a castle for a crown
An ancient fast asleep

But there's a voice in our ear
And a crack in the mirror
A passage left out of the psalm
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh)

Well the word it spread through town
And the word was written down
"Just as the nightshade came from seed
We are tethered by this gravity!"

If not on the word we rely
Than not on the world we rely
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh)

We'll count down the years
‘til thе earth starts to quake
The mountains will crumblе
The red pine will break
As the echoes surround
And a trade wind appears
We'll make like a ghost
We'll make like a ghost (hollow as a dream)

With dreams light as feathers
This life like a stone
Will sink to the bottom of our ocean alone
As my lungs fill with fire
Through watery eye i see the stars re-align

If not on the word we rely
Than not on the world we rely
Oh lonely fortress! (Aaahhh)

Oh lonely fortreeessss
