lyrics

I am coming home
The witches within me have burned
Now I'm looking for you
I'm no fucking ghost
But I'll haunt you till the day that I
In spite of the anchor my body
Insists it will float
And wash up on the coast

Bring me the head of the horseman
Bring me the heart of the hero

Drag the notion to it's grave
When the search party has not succeeded
And nobody is safe
Just check beneath the floorboards
A rusted heart remains
It tells no tales
It's function fails
And it will never be replaced

The remission is over
The cancer is back
Silhouette of a soldier
With a soul just as black
Tell me what good is closure
As you die on your back
Choose your words with closure
Cause they might be your last

Set the tone, sleep with one eye closed
A pound of flesh isn't suitable payment
We woke up a sleeping giant by slitting his throat
And took over the throne

Bring me the hands of the blacksmith
Bring me the tongue of the poet

Dredge the bottom of the river
As the monster drags me down
I pull myself up by the hangmans rope, in search of solid ground
Come hell or high water
I will sink without a sound
Well it comes in waves, as blacks spades
It will never let me drown

The remission is over
The cancer is back
Silhouette of a soldier
With a soul just as black
Tell me what good is closure
As you die on your back
Choose your words with closure
Cause they might be your last

Swept up in the flood
World at my shoulders
Atlas may shrug
But I wont tip over
To gladly bury this burden

The remission is over
The cancer is back
Silhouette of a soldier
With a soul just as black
Tell me what good is closure
As you die on your back
Choose your words with closure
Cause they might be your last
