lyrics

The beast is gone, the man returns home, his wife has died in child birth, and together the father and his daughter rebuild their lives. A pale man learns mourns the death of his secret love.

This is loss
These fields lay empty
Without a word we speak defeat

We try and will the seed to grow
This is disease
The mother stands defiant
“It’s time to wash off the mark
The beast has left on me”

You’ve birthed a legacy you’ve abandoned

Such pretty words
It felt so soon to write them
But there’s no hope
In the love of a ghost

“I am the dust of the earth
Why am I so alone?
My dreams are flawless
But I’ve built this all wrong”

The system has failed
All hail the system

The gate has been ripped from its post
And your family has lost their home
Where they never loved you to begin with
