{{Lyrics| | {{Lyrics|Along the banks of rivers Zion | ||
Sang a fallen and forsworn | |||
The chain of human rage | |||
And let between an ocean rain | |||
And lambs so led, I stayed | |||
If this be life, our evening's prayer | |||
Or death's denouement | |||
A thorned idyll that's offered no one | |||
And I've stood for no one | |||
Then father, I'm nowhere | |||
I'm no closer to your throne | |||
Swirling forth, the sea conscripted | |||
Each, the dead and nursery rhyme at voice | |||
A trailing drone and baptized by the breath of pain | |||
I crossed heart's knave and swore | |||
If this be life, our evening's prayer | |||
Or death's denouement | |||
A thorned idyll that's offered no one | |||
And I've stood for no one | |||
Then father, I'm nowhere | |||
I'm no closer to your throne | |||
Swirling forth (Swirling) | |||
The dead and nursery rhyme | |||
If this be life, our evening's prayer | |||
Or death's denouement | |||
A thorned idyll that's offered no one | |||
And I've stood for no one | |||
Then father, I'm nowhere | |||
I'm no closer to your throne | |||
Pacific glass, these gifts rend senseless | |||
And knell, repentless | |||
The auger of the cosmic traveler | |||
As God's own straggler | |||
Who's vowed, unopposed | |||
To embody word and shore}} | |||
