Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sang soulless loud
Herding step on flesh
And nothing else
To well to drown and drown
Sleight of reason how they come
(Cain in number)
[Verse 2]
Shake my head
Turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect
To respect to be born
Lest we forget who lay
[Verse 3]
Alone, the crowd
Spurning step by state blame something else
Thirsting within and without
Sighted, weeded
How they run
(Slain in number)
[Verse 4]
Shake my head
Turn my face to the floor
Dead to respect
To respect to be born
Lest we forget who lay
Written by: Mark Hollis, Tim Friese-Greene
