Rivers of Nihil - Rain Eater

Текст песни

Time has come, I know the walls around me, I’ve covered every inch
I know they’re calling to me. I’m bleeding minutes, seconds, days into this
place
But time moves so slow, I work finger bone
The flesh no longer part of me: I must emerge
I am the son of centuries of self-serving, sickening scum
I can dig, and I can crawl away from this place of iron and stone
I can just walk away, and I’ll be free to go…
Heed the calling rain, to a place that I can call home
Bury me so I might grow
Feed me rain, and leave me alone
Bury me, and leave me alone
Feed me rain so I might grow
Knowledge through growth
My veins grow out into the Gaian essence which feeds all life
Grow into the essence which feeds all life
Isolation, paralysis: the state in which I spend eternity interned.
Eternity flows
Time moves slowly, work to emerge, fulfill my purpose within the natural world
Within this temple of dirt
But time is no more, where this seed is sewn
The flesh no longer part of me: I am alive
I’m the sum of a million years of life, light and love
Reaching once-dead arms to the all-giving sun above
Men of flesh and blood would call this gift a curse
But they don’t know my pain, I would gladly serve this time a million-fold
Bury me so I might grow
Feed me rain, and leave me alone
Bury me, and leave me alone
Feed me rain so I might grow
