Coffins Marked With Your Name (Carved Before You Ever Became)

The horizon births another day
In the valley of dust and decay
The broken here bury their lives
Aspirations to never survive
Barriers of man and of ocean
Set progress in circular motion
And in paths tread years earlier
Lays weary the broken dreamer

Hungry as ever
The daylight shall swallow and sever
Us as meat thrown to the hounds
(And) night shall shed
A curse of fear and almighty dread
Until all our resistance drowns

In day all feel the sky's weight
Spent running from a sealed fate
Coffins marked with your name
Carved before you became
And a seed planted deep inside
Given to be your only guide
Says there is nothing to leave
But even less to believe/achieve

Hungry as ever
The daylight shall swallow and sever
Us as meat thrown to the hounds
(And) night shall shed
A curse of fear and almighty dread
Until all our resistance drowns

The end of this road meets
The other end of the road
No conclusion, no beginning
No climax, no triumph
No interlude, no solitude
And no escape
No escape

Coffins marked with your name
Carved before you became

Hungry as ever
The daylight shall swallow and sever
Us as meat thrown to the hounds
(And) night shall shed
A curse of fear and almighty dread
Until all our resistance drowns

Coffins marked with your name
Carved before you became
