"Our Fortress Is Burning... II - Bloodbirds" lyrics

"Our Fortress Is Burning... II - Bloodbirds"

The god of man is a failure
Our fortress is burning against the grain of the shattered sky
Charred birds escape from the ruins and return as cascading blood
Dying bloodbirds pooling, feeding the flood
The god of man is a failure
And all of our shadows
All of our shadows
All of our shadows
Are ashes against the grain
