Ending the Perpetual Tragedy Lyrics
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you
That I might reach
Straight for your throat
This is madness
Will we not be satisfied
Until we sit drenched in each other's blood?
The shame of only two appalling options:
A taker of life, or a dead man
This is why the wives, the mothers, and children are mourning
Love, as vital to life
As blood to heart
Conquers pain
Lest death intrudes by means of its
Flawed emissary, man
On this day, saints will be sinners
There will be no victors, only bereaved
On this day, only bereaved
This is why we mourn
Leaving the world blind, eye after eye
Leaving the world... blind
Disease inhabits the environs
Famine feeds our gardens
Flesh is predisposed to die
Death needs no aide
We bear blood to where we rest
And still we are not sleepless
We bear blood to where we rest
And we will live such tragedy in perpetuity
This is a tragedy
The stillness of a corpse is unnerving
It is the physical form of death
The air is cold
And I am certain someone somewhere is laughing
I am colder than the air
I am colder than the air, my heart is deeper than an ocean
Its pain is focus
A focus as brutal as the stillness of a corpse
The stillness of a corpse is unnerving
On this day let them be all unnerved
The blood of the dead mixes with the blood of the gouging of mine eyes
The truest tragedy complete
And in perpetuity as this is the will of imbeciles who's thirst for blood
Blind as bats, there are no more lessons to be learned
Man unlearns wisdom as swiftly as it digs its own grave
If he must dig let him dig for himself
I will bury the corpses
I will bury the corpses of those that would bury mine or that of my beloved
The blood of mine eyes mixes with the blood of mankind
It will cleanse the world
This scorched jet blood it will cleanse the world
This is a tragedy
Her loved one is dead
His loved one is dead
My loved one is dead
Your loved one is dead
If these hands could only kill
Take my arms that I might reach you
That I might reach
Straight for your throat
Will we not be satisfied
Until we sit drenched in each other's blood?
A taker of life, or a dead man
This is why the wives, the mothers, and children are mourning
As blood to heart
Conquers pain
Lest death intrudes by means of its
Flawed emissary, man
There will be no victors, only bereaved
On this day, only bereaved
This is why we mourn
Leaving the world... blind
Famine feeds our gardens
Flesh is predisposed to die
Death needs no aide
And still we are not sleepless
We bear blood to where we rest
It is the physical form of death
The air is cold
And I am certain someone somewhere is laughing
I am colder than the air
I am colder than the air, my heart is deeper than an ocean
Its pain is focus
A focus as brutal as the stillness of a corpse
The stillness of a corpse is unnerving
On this day let them be all unnerved
The blood of the dead mixes with the blood of the gouging of mine eyes
The truest tragedy complete
And in perpetuity as this is the will of imbeciles who's thirst for blood
Blind as bats, there are no more lessons to be learned
Man unlearns wisdom as swiftly as it digs its own grave
If he must dig let him dig for himself
I will bury the corpses
I will bury the corpses of those that would bury mine or that of my beloved
The blood of mine eyes mixes with the blood of mankind
It will cleanse the world
This scorched jet blood it will cleanse the world
His loved one is dead
My loved one is dead
Your loved one is dead

This scorched, jet blood; it will cleanse the world.
I also love the kudos to Hearts Once Nourished at the end of this song...if these hands would only kill.
Simon & Garfunkel? (first two lines)
"A taker of life, of a dead man." that line is "The takers of life or dead men" Basically saying the only options we have left is to kill everyone or kill ourselves because we're so messed up.
Such a powerful ending to the anthem album of our dying world.
