Baroness - Swollen And Halo lyrics

rate me

The steel that sleeps the eye<br />

Needs nor tax nor toll<br />

The kings with men might lie<br />

Swollen and halo'd<br />

<br />

Her sweetest skin burns<br />

<br />

Now I've buried all the gold beneath my hide<br />

Now I'll swallow breath with blood<br />

<br />

Of pole and anchor<br />

Of stone and mitre<br />

Of god and beast and<br />

Wine and fish and man<br />

<br />

The virgin ground stains<br />

<br />

Now we've wandered through the polestar's dusty floe<br />

And my crown is breath and blood
