lyrics

Someday when our pantheon’s abandoned
And the weeds overtake all the pillars that we planted
I will still be waiting at the gates
For our miracle to come

While the rest of my people return to the ocean
Strip off their clothes and drift for eternity
Until the salt of the sea eats away at their tattoos

I will stare at the spot where she splintered
Worshipped a world with ourselves at the center
Caught in the obit of all things remembered
And I’ll ask
Where are you?

When OUR GODS reclaim all of the things we created
And the names of the heroes of our lives have faded
And when our old neighborhood is finally swallowed by the sea

I’ll trace your shape among the constellations
In the home that we built on the garbage of nations
And when you return just as young as the moment that we met

You will not know me for the beard that I have grown
And the centuries I have spent alone
And the ruin of what once was your home
And you’ll ask
Where are you?
