Rotterdam, god damn
These starving organs hem and haw
Morning of the opposed modernity

And I heard them scream

We are many, we are many, we are


And in the Hague, I did proclaim
Cousin, I'll find god in the gutter

You'll catch the dead and bury them with old words
When the hours begin to flee I will sing
Recover me


We are many
We are many

We are dust
We are many
We are many

We are dust
Into dust we will all return


Oh I, whole night, I heard you sing
Only dreamers, dead times, and dirty kings
Oh I, whole night, I heard you sing

O death, where is thy sting?
Does it feed on eager limbs?
How will the body know?

I was caught in the eye with a nightingale
Hold the water, let it burn


Some lives may dig deep but my cold crime is clean
If I show you my hands, will you carry the beast?


We are many
We are many
We are dust

Into dust we will all return
