lyrics

June 6th, 1912
Novarupta spewed
And killed all the mosquitos and bears
For three days
An ashy grey
Swallowed Three Saints Bay
But after death erupted
It had overkilled its stay
In Saint Paul
I write to you
Praying now for pain
Or else a light
Appear tonight
To take us all away
From this dreary land
A mighty hand
Upon us with its force
Would show us grace
But now His face
Lest I should melt away
A serpent's teeth
Within my feet
Damned or something worse
The natives cry
But who am I
To die without a scene?
No bloated blood
Misunderstood
What it is to be cursed
A blessed love
From up above
Shipwrecked upon the screen

In the Emerald Isle
Of ten thousand smokes
I'll talk to the flowers
About all the ghosts
That walk through the tall grass
And slip through the steel-glass skies
Heavenly sparrows
Surround seven narrow
Impressions in the face of the earth
They're painting the sky
With the blood of a silver sleeve
Ashes to ashes
Ocean to ocean
Everyone's falling down
Flashes and crashes
Lightning so frightening
Wait 'til it hits the ground
In ultraviolet
An elegant pilot
Carries the passengers
Up to the promised land
In a cloud of grey with a black hole haze
And in the starlight
It tortured the midnight clear
Cut straight through
The piercing black sky of my soul
Fire let your flames settle on the mount
Ashes to ashes
Ocean to ocean
Everyone's falling down
Flashes and crashes
Lightning so frightening
Wait 'til it hits the ground

Black eyes
Percieve sunshine
As a nuanced deception of the light
White eyes
See the night-time
As a period of time
Before the Sun sits on its throne

On this island
I am Shelikhov
Just subtract the furs
In this sunlight
I am Shelikhov
But I am the massacred
On this sacred
Stack, there is one goal
Simply to be numb
I won't let these
Waters keep me from home
By the lady and the word
Pioneer of the world
Pioneer of the world
Pioneer of the world
Pioneer of the world

Even if my body were engulfed
In the ash, I know that my old soul
Would be hidden in your open scars
Nothing that can separate your blood
From me......
