+Lyrics+
I found myself a new world
sailed around it’s ring
I wrought myself a country
and I crowned myself it’s king
I made myself religion
carved christ in ivory
I deemed an airtight Sunday
to justify myself all the bleeding
I clawed myself a nation
and I’ve shopped it’s waterways
I crack the dirt for smoking out
rhyme of energy
I gouge myself a pipeline
I dig myself a mine
I take myself a forest
to sap the growing up of your shrine
I’ve halted ghosts from dancing
swept the prayers from the last ones left
and I kept the drums from breathing
It’s I that warped the blankets’ weft
I that warp the blankets web
To speak in some such candor
I rip from the condor’s wing
I feed on loving bodies
And take the land from them to stanch their living
I take the land from them to stanch the living
