Marathon Lyrics - Singles - Kayo Dot

And so ten centuries solemnly collide 

Love failed and I have 

Lost my Name 

Secrecy hoards the treasure 

Coveted most by me 

As rainwater collects in barrels 

Sleep covers Abuse with Time 

Too many dream-haunted hours 

Leaves me with seasons swelling and growing 

And without welcome, fading 

Something makes sense in ripples 

Grief is the corpse from which worms feed 

Alas, I am not this stricken man 

Suspended by sunlight, shadows break 

Their silent vigil 

As rainwater collects in barrels 

Lucifer rose up to kiss the analgesic dawn 

While below, Something roll'd the stone away 

Something makes sense in ripples 

Gradually, I saw Abuse is a Name 

And ghosts will seem forever 

Less fantastic
