lyrics

I'm stacking up apologies for the world that I have left you
There ain't no earthly remedy. Will anybody get through?
I guess we're being followed by those hungered, hollow things
Ghosts of all our sorrow; our crownless, fallen kings

When I lay in dust and ashes
Withered rendered up my frame
Bear in memory nothing more than
I'm covered up in Jesus' name

Some have borne their brothers and sisters by their sides
Still the masses wonder who will and won't survive
Now I beg your forgiveness for the words I've left unsung
Offerings of dry ground and salt water from my tongue

When I lay in dust and ashes
Withered rendered up my frame
Bear in memory nothing more than
I'm covered up in Jesus' name

The monuments are falling, and I haven't shed a tear
We've canonized our anger, we've simmered up our fear
Now I pray for peace to find you even if she leaves your town
I've put away the soldier and become the battleground

When I lay in dust and ashes
Withered rendered up my frame
Bear in memory nothing more than
I'm covered up in Jesus' name
