The sky is too bright and the world's too wide
But the view’s simplified from a hunting blind
Defending the great divides
You'll die at your post
God's in the rising tide
On your skeleton coast
Burn the boats
Daydream an empire’s endless rise
Where demons are named, then they're sacrificed
The cult of the last goodbye
Collectively alone
Cold waters rise, divide
This archipelago
Dead island of your calcifying soul
Bit by a bitter vision of control
Who told you there was nowhere else to go?
Sheltering with your ghosts
In some leviathan's bones
Bleaching in the sun
You're afraid of your shadow
I think you must know
There is a world outside your head
You are not dreaming, you're not yet dead
Defending the great divides
You'll die at your post
God's in the rising tide
On your skeleton coast
The cult of the last goodbye
Collectively alone
Watching the water rise
