The Earth Remembers

Lyrics

[Intro] Beneath the quarry, stone gives way A buried engine wakes today [Verse 1] The warning bell is split in two Dust coats the names we carved in blue You dug for gold beneath the clay Now something older claims the day [Pre-Chorus] Hear the ground crack underfoot No hand can seal the wound you put [Chorus] Down through the bedrock, iron jaws descend Buried beneath us, nothing meets its end Pull at the chain and the whole hill answers Stone turns to hunger; the earth remembers [Verse 2] The cable snaps, the lamps burn blind Black water climbs the walls behind Your final map dissolves to rust The mountain takes what it was owed [Chorus] Down through the bedrock, iron jaws descend Buried beneath us, nothing meets its end Pull at the chain and the whole hill answers Stone turns to hunger; the earth remembers [Breakdown] No way up No air below We built the pit We fed the throat [Final Chorus] Down through the bedrock, iron jaws descend Buried beneath us, nothing meets its end Pull at the chain and the whole hill answers Stone turns to hunger; the earth remembers [Outro] The last lamp dies The deep stays awake
