lyrics

Watch It burn
Celestial light
World consumed
Your back is turned

You wait and see
You will forget
The price of
Your actions
Compromise
Humanity

You do not see
Beyond the lies
You assure yourself
Of your goodness

Your fear is loss
Of power
Of comfort
Your bed of corpses

Your inaction is complicity
Your compromises are hollow monuments to your cowardice
Your position turns your words to ash
You mistake discomfort for hardship

The gate is down
The fire has spread
It’s at your door
But you’re asleep

As the world burns
You bargain and squeal
Not for the loss of life
But for yourself

The trees come down
But they’re not yours
Until the flames
Lick at your skin

The problem’s not yours
You’re here to win
Burn
The house
The lord is out

He pretends
To care for us
His goal is wealth
He steals for himself

He’s for sale
His price is power

We’re not here to bargain
All we have is hope
The stakes are high
The time is now

We’ve lit the flame
You’re bed is alight
My bet is you’ll turn
To ash before you fight
With you out the way
We’ll regrow from ashes

May Our Chambers Be Full
by Emma Ruth Rundle & Thou

supported by 36 fans who also own “Laying Down in a Forest Fire”

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
