Holy, Holy

from Three Songs by Old Century Blood

lyrics

There’s a way that pleasure is made-
but it no longer works that way

You are lost on your own dark sea
I’m underground waiting for thee

Neither one of us is bringing light
Either one of us- servants of night

Holy holy- the marks are made
Holy holy – how deep the grave

I’m just a boy who’s crying and crying
You’re just a girl who’s running and running

History is made up of repetition
The grooves they guide us into submission

Holy holy- the marks are made
Holy holy – how deep the grave

Hold my love- hold it long enough
Hold my heart- make it hard to let go
Hold my word- listen to its sound
When your cold- remember my embrace

I found a feather and some bones
The bird spirits searching for home

Am I the hawk who on the pigeon feasts
Or am I the pigeon- headless and relieved?

Am I the message or the messenger?
Am I the pilot or the passanger?

Well I know it’s a lesson- I should have learned
I know there’ll a price for THAT

But loneliness took me by the hand
Shapeshifted into a bottle of bad

Holy holy- the marks are made
Holy holy – how deep the grave

Chorus x2
