"From the Briar" Lyrics

Scarlet Lament

Face of the sky:
Art thou projecting radiant hues,
Cocking heads toward thy precious eye?

Of all my semblance
I am to be: letten my ironhide

Keep my head up!
I want to see your movements, my passing moments,
Thy ever sacred dyes.

This my lament!

This my lament--scarlet lament.

So terrible this aching pain--
That shatters all my frozen flesh
Oh clouds of blue--
In misted sky I am remade inside,
For everything is open-eyed!

In a scarlet lament

Oh God will my faith payoff while I’m standing here alone and distant
Like the sea in between lies my conscience--my faith with my life are sailing broken.

Oh God will my faith payoff while I’m standing here alone and distant
I’ve carried my cross, I’ve died to my shame, your blood soaks my soul, come change me.

So terrible this aching pain
That shatters all my frozen flesh
Oh clouds of Blue--In misted sky I am remade inside,
For everything is open-eyed!
