J. Tillman - Age of Man lyrics
[J. Tillman - Age of Man lyrics]
Holy visions barren spirit
Earthly comforts in the weeks after the end
Keeping watch for a highway that could steer
The endless brother from the
Gods that trespassed here
Countless images no more avenged or feared
In the Age of Man in the Age of Man
Unwed covenant brazen promise
Diseased music sounds no longer in my ears
Birds will as they always have proclaimed
Sculpted stone left unattended rose away
The light in the cavern and
The orchard is the same in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
Nameless purpose blessed Union
Godless children free to sing
The untamed will
The stake in through the hands
That stole his death
False bride revealed and stripped
Of unwon righteousness
No more inherent to those
Born upon the breast in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
A scarecrow lying face down in the grass
The wooden beams resemble something
From the past not long enough to make him
Hide from the day’s task in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
Earthly comforts in the weeks after the end
Keeping watch for a highway that could steer
The endless brother from the
Gods that trespassed here
Countless images no more avenged or feared
In the Age of Man in the Age of Man
Unwed covenant brazen promise
Diseased music sounds no longer in my ears
Birds will as they always have proclaimed
Sculpted stone left unattended rose away
The light in the cavern and
The orchard is the same in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
Nameless purpose blessed Union
Godless children free to sing
The untamed will
The stake in through the hands
That stole his death
False bride revealed and stripped
Of unwon righteousness
No more inherent to those
Born upon the breast in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
A scarecrow lying face down in the grass
The wooden beams resemble something
From the past not long enough to make him
Hide from the day’s task in the Age of Man
In the Age of Man
