Drowning Ares - The Emissary Lyrics

The sickness consumed
Raucous vigil in an empty barroom
Ain't it funny how the dead eat you alive
Not the first to fall
Nausea soaking through the phone call
Shared vision in a bottle of bloodshot eyes

Lamb of God in the courtyard
She knew it from a mile away
Down to the root, uncover the bone
Cluster close in cacophony
Our anguish sanctuary
She made it pass away
She knew just what to say

Hard to rest with the dead
Run scenarios of things left unsaid
Scream silent at the veil
In darkness share doom
Dare to touch a familiar death bloom
Once vibrant, now frail

Lamb of God in the courtyard
She knew it from a mile away
Down to the root, uncover the bone
Cluster close in cacophony
Our anguish sanctuary
She made it pass away
She knew just what to say

Now I see through empathetic eyes

Dying's the easy part
Bear the blessing of the pain in our hearts
More for knowing
Less for this
What's left of what is left
Hearing voices til the day I find rest
A few words
Break the day
Emissary
Break the day

Lamb of God in the courtyard
She knew it from a mile away
Down to the root, uncover the bone
Cluster close in cacophony
Our anguish sanctuary
She made it pass away
She knew just what to say

Emissary
(She) made it pass away
Knew just what to say
She made it pass away
Knew just what to say
