The Acacia Strain - Was lyrics
[The Acacia Strain - Was lyrics]
They always come crawling back
Whatever walks there walks alone
How they thought that
There were other dimensions
You know, other, other worlds
All around us, and how they wanted
To try and make, um
A window you know
So they could look through and see
What's on the other side
Well, maybe your window turned out
To be a door, didn't it?
Not mine, those scientists'!
Oh, the scientists! Yes, the scientists!
They must have ripped a
Hole open by accident
This other world came spilling
Through to ours
That's what Donaldson was saying to me
Right before he killed himself
I didn't understand the half of it
It ain't my fault!
Only the dead know only the dead know
Tears in the fabric lurking in the shadows
In the doorways of unreality
He says his name is Death
The truth is, he is something worse
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know the truth?
We are being punished for what?
For going against the will of God!
For going against his forbidden rules of old!
Walking on the moon! Yes! Yes!
Or, or splitting his atoms! Amen!
Or, or, or stem cells and abortions!
And destroying the secrets of life
That only God above has any right to!
Amen! Amen!
Only the dead know only the dead know
Experience the true reality
Beyond the curtain
Beyond all sight and sound
Consciousness collapsing all around us
This is the veil being lifted they waited
It comes it comes in
It comes it comes in waves
It comes it comes in
It comes it comes in waves
It comes it comes in
It comes it comes in waves
Wishing away the sand
Washing away all you love
The days of darkness the absence of light
Washing away all you love breath of God
Gaze of the old it comes in waves
Whatever walks there walks alone
How they thought that
There were other dimensions
You know, other, other worlds
All around us, and how they wanted
To try and make, um
A window you know
So they could look through and see
What's on the other side
Well, maybe your window turned out
To be a door, didn't it?
Not mine, those scientists'!
Oh, the scientists! Yes, the scientists!
They must have ripped a
Hole open by accident
This other world came spilling
Through to ours
That's what Donaldson was saying to me
Right before he killed himself
I didn't understand the half of it
It ain't my fault!
Only the dead know only the dead know
Tears in the fabric lurking in the shadows
In the doorways of unreality
He says his name is Death
The truth is, he is something worse
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know the truth?
We are being punished for what?
For going against the will of God!
For going against his forbidden rules of old!

Washing away all you love breath of God
