The trees gave up their up their roots
And the lepers left their caves
All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountain

And the kings all became slaves
On the day
That my lord came


The fire split the beams
The wall's coming down

The day my lord came

The tears filled up my eyes

The curtain has been drawn
To lay to waste this land, to me
It's like the beauty of the breakin' of the dawn

And as a black hand swept across the earth
I knew
That that day came


When the fish float on the water
With their bellies up

I'll know, I'll know
That that day came


All the rattlesnakes came down from the mountain
And the kings all became slaves
The trees gave up their up their roots from the earth

And the lepers left their caves
On the day
That my lord came


The coyotes left their dens
The horses left to their stables

And they bowed down to the ground
Every creature that was able
A blanket of moss will cover the earth

And I'll know
That the day came


It's the shifting of the guard
Time to start anew
The old gods have all failed

And their successors too
My king, my king
Will wipe the slate clean

Houses become tombs
My king, my king
Will take the fruit of every single womb

And make it his own

My king, he is displeased

To be forgotten and alone
And the ones who came before
Well the valley is filled

With their bones
I am the storm brewing up from the east
From the west

From every direction at once
