Lyrics Spires - Hour of Penance

Spires

Swallowed down.
Is this my last stairway?
Still I feel a needle through my flesh
That brings smoke, it bars the view
Cleaning remorse out of me
Pure denying
I became a survivor
At one with these spires that feed me on
My own shelter for cold stung my face
Yet I can’t, I won’t move
Snake of God, have mercy on me
What’s left behind for me?
Choose my path, gather my past
Wash it away with lenient venom
Forever grateful
Of keeping me warm
Do what you will
Shut my eyes
Draw my soul up
And start again
Snake of God, have mercy
Snake of God, have mercy
Snake of God, have mercy
Snake of God, have mercy
Wires feeding and snaring together
But it’s all I ever had
I am a survivor
I am at one with these spires
