Mercyground Lyrics - Singles - Faith And The Muse

Air-built madness: unfamiliar charm 

Hides in the softest eyes 

And ponderous smiles manifest denial 

But heavy heartless 

Conscious of our load 

Hurled by dreams into a separate world 

We dig the thoughtless earth 

With fingers lighter than the breath 

Of lifeless minds awaiting death 

On this mercyground 

What may transpire in this stagnant posture 

Tradition multiplies 

Where repetition reigns and the air smells of age 

And prayers of sightless 

Blind us to the earth 

Disenchantment sings in voices fortified 

Our sleep is justified 

Prone and weary from descent 

Our eyes reflect empyrean 

On this mercyground 

Safe inured we lay to rest 

Pinioned by our helplessness 

On this mercyground 

Empty smiles drag us down 

Until we softly kiss the ground 

And all movement is lost 

Silently we all sink down 

Embraced within this mercyground 

And all movement is lost
