[Verse 1]
Rotterdam, goddamn
These starving organs hem and haw
Mulling over your post-modernity
And I heard them scream
[Chorus]
"We are many, we are many
We are"
[Verse 2]
And in The Hague, I did proclaim
"Cousin, I'll find God in the gutter"
Yes, catch the dead and bury them with old words
When the hours begin to flee I will sing, "Recover me"
[Chorus]
We are many, we are many
We are dust
We are many, we are many
We are dust
[Post-Chorus]
And to dust we will all return
[Bridge]
Oh eye, oh night, I heard you sing
"Only dreamers, dead tongues, and dirty kings"
Oh eye, eye night, I heard you sing
"O death, where is thy sting?"
Does it feed on eager limbs?
How will the body know?
I was caught in the eye with a nightingale
Hold the water, let it burn
[Verse 3]
Slow knives may dig deep
But my cold crime is clean
If I show you my hands
Will you carry the beast?
[Chorus]
We are many, we are many
We are dust
[Outro]
And to dust we will all return
