The Old Earth by My Dying Bride Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Beast broken by time
Captive voice, streams lie
Dangerous world in Heavens fire
Earthly child brings sickened sight

[Verse 2]
Beast broken by time
Captive voice, streams lie
Solar light blessed noble night
Deadly gifts bring sickened sight

[Bridge]
Blessed with sixth second sight
Blessed with sixth second sight

[Verse 3]
Black solar light
Waist deep, waist deep in sky
In heavens fire
Blessed earthly child
Brings sick, brings sickened sight
Second sight
Brings sickened sight
Blessed with sixth second sight

Black solar light
Waist deep, waist deep in sky
In heavens fire
Waist deep in heavens fire

[Verse 4]
Fire claws the old earth and takes the sea
Seas give their treasure, breathing freely
All mankind will breathe their last
Down on our knees
Down on our knees
Down on our knees

[Verse 5]
Shrouded in cold ropes and cutting nails
Nailed to the old oak in rain and hail
All mankind will breathe their last
Down on our knees
Down on our knees
Down on our knees
Blessed with sick second sight
Gifts from God bring forth suffering
