Lyrics
Footprints spanning the sand behind me
Eyes squint as the sunlight’s grandeur blinds me
A sidewinder stalking abandoned canyons
Til the end of the horizon rises to find me
My strides channel karesansui patterns
Outlining a divine alomancy stratum
But I can’t see forward, meandering backwards
Haggard, sweat-lacquered, walking tracks through the blackness
Putting one foot in front of the other
Thunder rumbles above us but no-one’s running for cover
I’m stumbling forward through the tundra’s storm to discover
That my love is being crushed under the palm of another
My mouth worn out by the foulest sourness
Hours shrouded in clouds of glowering dourness
Plough the powdered ground, drought-wrought and flowerless
And prowl the bowels of hell towards my hallowed palace
Tripping up on this marathon’s obstacles
Sphinx’s riddle is probably paradoxical
Nearly giving up, my sceptical opticals
Mock the chop logic in synoptical chronicles
Walk past agnostics who kick dust and hawk spittle
Swastikas, crossed sickle/hammers, cross symbols
Brittle trust whittled away like old war cripples
Sick orphans lost within holocaust hospitals
Putting one foot in front of the other
Thunder rumbles above us but no-one’s running for cover
I’m stumbling forward through the tundra’s storm to discover
That my love is being crushed under the palm of another
My mouth worn out by the foulest sourness
Hours shrouded in clouds of glowering dourness
Plough the powdered ground, drought-wrought and flowerless
And prowl the bowels of hell towards my hallowed palace
An overload of thoughts slowly imploding
From so many forks… stuck in the road for decoding
My rasping throat torn raw, hoarse and corroding
From the forces that goad me, swarming dark and foreboding
Like a shark in the ocean trailing close to it’s prey
Anguish chokes at the daylight until hope dies away
The breath compressed from my chest, all inner strength fades to grey
And I am left a frozen effigy of faith made from clay
Putting one foot in front of the other
Thunder rumbles above us but no-one’s running for cover
I’m stumbling forward through the tundra’s storm to discover
That my love is being crushed under the palm of another
My mouth worn out by the foulest sourness
Hours shrouded in clouds of glowering dourness
Plough the powdered ground, drought-wrought and flowerless
And prowl the bowels of hell towards my hallowed palace
One step forward, two steps back
Sweat-drenched forehead, blue lips cracked
Raging torrents furrow the Earth’s surface
Wandering the dirt I’m wondering my journey’s purpose
One step forward, two steps back
Sun burns torrid, fumes wisp black
Following this path I burrow below
And curl within a hollow shadowland, swallowed alone
Swallowed alone
Swallowed alone
Following this path I burrow below
And curl within a hollow shadowland, swallowed alone
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward, two steps back
One step forward
