Purple Pig Prophecy

Songtext

[Verse 1] Under ash and cedar bones I saw the purple swine Green eyes like poisoned glass Beaks wet with hungry brine They crawl through blackened fields With no soul in their frame A village of cracked crowns Sinks under their vile name [Pre-Chorus] Hear the old stone cry Hear the sky go thin The world forgets its shape When the swine come in Oh, yellow eye, wake now Take the final sign The road is split in fire And the sea runs blind [Chorus] Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Save the worlds tonight From the world-eater’s bite Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Break the purple tide Let the dawn survive (ride, rise) (ride, rise) [Verse 2] They march on iron knees Through the broken north Each step a curse in mud Each breath a calling forth Their beak-mouths hiss and grin At moons they mean to break They feast on falling stars And laugh at every quake [Pre-Chorus] Hear the old stone cry Hear the sky go thin The world forgets its shape When the swine come in Oh, yellow eye, wake now Take the final sign The road is split in fire And the sea runs blind [Chorus] Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Save the worlds tonight From the world-eater’s bite Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Break the purple tide Let the dawn survive (ride, rise) (ride, rise) [Bridge] Now the drums go deep And the white towers shake The World-Eater turns At the name we make From the mouth of frost To the edge of flame I sing your hidden light I call your sacred name [Final Chorus] Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Save the worlds tonight From the world-eater’s bite Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Break the purple tide Let the dawn survive Yellow eye, rise Yellow eye, rise Save the worlds tonight From the world-eater’s bite (ride, rise) (ride, rise)
