lyrics

If you want to find faith you must empty your heart
Make it hollow as an old home
Make it echo like a chamber
If you want to find faith you must empty your heart
For you know that the light only shines in the dark

If you want to see visions you must go blind
Gouge your eyes like an enemy
Walk the world like a dead man's bones
If you want to see visions you must go blind
For you know that the dark gives us unending sight

Tell me what shall I read upon your headstone
Just a poem in a long dead tongue
Just a prayer to a long dead god
Tell me what shall I read upon your headstone
Tell me what will you leave that can never be known
