lyrics

Sewn well into your dress
a pious man makes his confession
When they tolled the bells for deliverance
Holy bodies brought me close to city's edge

one lone prayer in oxford polish
makes no promise
rises silent

May I advocate for time
Trading comfort for desire and solace for a sign
High and binding
your bright beacon to wake sullen bones

Sewn well into your dress
the wildest man makes an impression
long before your hands lift in reverence
Care to see you coveting another's plan

hurried vision in his likeness
says the prophet
rise up silent

May I advocate for time
Trading comfort for desire and solace for a sign
High and binding
your bright beacon to wake sullen bones

Grown well into your dress
your nights that ask no more permission
All man can attain you have had exchanged
Called to chase the cord arranged in all things

strip from you your broken habit
summer rain now
rising silent

May your body speak for time
Trade no comfort or desire or solace for a sign
high and binding
your bright beacons be your flesh and bones
