Partial Lyrics:

“And when this river’s dead and dry,
Then like Caesar I’ll cast the die
I’ve made up my mind, I’m cutting ties, ālea iacta est;
I’m crossing the Rubicon and laying my PAST TO REST
(ALL MY DEMONS FIGHT FOR ME NOW)
(and I’m not looking back again)
(I’M BREAKING THE LAW ON IMPERIUM)
(My love was never earned by them)
(SI VIS PACEM, PARA BELLUM)
(All my demons fight for me now)
I’m done building fucking bridges, I’ve set every one I had ablaze
I won’t need to walk on water to cross a riverbed of ash and clay
So I welcome drought; I’m done with rain
Let famine come; I’ll thrive in pain
I’ll harness the SUN and burn away
The MIST, the WATER, YESTERDAY.”

“I can feel God’s light
(LIKE FLAME AGAINST MY SKIN)
If this is holy love, I’ll stay in the shade of sin
You can fill your mouths with names and numbers,
armor yourself with verse and psalms,
I’ll spit Leviticus back into your face
Your faith has driven nails into my palms
You can sew my hands together
stitch my lips and trap my tongue
but you can't make me fucking pray;
I declare non serviam.”

“Our lullabies were screaming matches or broken bottles
We spent childhood swallowing the shards of our shattered hearts
Audi, vide, tace, they say—Well, we’re breaking silence now and won’t play that part
We heard, we saw, we locked our lips, we let copper fill our lungs and mouths
And quoting Exodus 20:12 at us can’t make a home out of a burning house
As children we all beg our fathers for a single taste of love
But I’ll go ahead and tell you now, kid:
All that broken glass just tastes like blood.”
