letra de the empty sound (peace on earth) - levaya

there’s a long shadow over the land
rest the stone into the sling
and rub some dirt on my hand
mumble through a half remembered prayer
rub my eyes and i am tied up in the wooden chair again
why don’t we just do a firing squad?
pull the hood over my head
and pretend you were a child of war
why don’t we just do a firing squad?
then go ahead and drag me bleeding
out across the moonlit yard

the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on thе ground

the hollow sh-ll
the еmpty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground

strange shapes wash up in a dream
there’s something almost breathing
and it’s tangled in the weeds
i keep a razor blade tucked in my cheek
just in case i had to break through locks
or skin or ways of being
is it in the air or in the blood?
hand on cross over your chest
then silent reaching for the gun
is it in the air or in the blood?
one last look behind you
as you answer in the way you must
the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground

the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground

all these days between the wolf and dog
feel myself evaporating in my mothers arms
in broken time wading through the smog
the lighthouse left abandoned for a
hundred something years or more
what is left to carry us across?
is the metal in me, or was that
just a warning shot?
what is left to carry us through?
when i chose forgiveness
i tied myself to you

the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground
the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground

the hollow sh-ll
the empty sound
no peace on earth
without some blood left on the ground
i am asking myself now and then
i’m asking then and now
will they cross my arms if ever i am found?
will they cross my arms whenever i am found?
