Spear in the Ark

[Intro]
[whispered growl]
Buried in the sand
Under burning skies
You woke what should’ve slept
[Verse 1]
Dust in your lungs
But the relic still shines
Carved saints on the casing
Eyes cracked, alive
You trace every warning
In a language of scars
Hear a heart start pulsing
Inside the dark
[Chorus]
Spear in the Ark
And the seal is bleeding
You broke the mark
Now the wound is breathing
All that is cursed
Has a face and it knows
(it knows, it knows you)
Spear in the Ark
And it calls you home
[Verse 2]
Floor splits open
Tongues of ash and flame
You drop the old weapon
It rolls, whispers your name
Pontius’s spear
Cold steel on stone
Every saint turns away
You are not alone
[Chorus]
Spear in the Ark
And the seal is bleeding
You broke the mark
Now the wound is breathing
All that is cursed
Has a face and it knows
(it knows, it knows you)
Spear in the Ark
And it calls you home
[Bridge]
[first vocal, low growl]
You thought it was relic, dead, forgotten
But it waited in the dark for your breath
[second vocal, higher snarl]
You thought you were seeker, saint, pilgrim
You were chosen as the knife in its chest
[both]
Now the walls chant your name
Every echo a vow
There is blood in the light
And it’s yours now
[Chorus]
Spear in the Ark
And the seal is bleeding
You broke the mark
Now the wound is breathing
All that is cursed
Has a face and it knows
(it knows, it owns you)
Spear in the Ark
You are not going home
