Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They felt safe then, so I've heard
Under their thick black blanket of industry
Now they kneel and pray at the steel alter
A hopeless congregation at a godless mass
The Black Country monks gargling hymns and eating the body
Of some budget Christ with dirty children
Off-white angels kicking feral pigeons
And picking up half smoked nub-ends
Taught to never look up and scour the ground
Future is a funny word, future is a silver dream
Gargling hymns and eating the body of some bastard Christ
Kicking stones at the shapes of yesterday's ghosts
[Verse 2]
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts, ghosts
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts, ghosts
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts
One day you'll find me by the water
Kicking stones at yesterday's ghosts, ghosts
