[Intro] [Verse 1] He built the wall he walked the cedar a wild friend made him human then the friend went still [Pre-Chorus] Flesh fails the name wants a bed press it in before the river takes the house [Chorus] He saw the deep he came back empty-handed death kept the body the tablet kept the man [Verse 2] Seven days the worm in the face a king on the ground who cannot stand his own ending [Chorus] He saw the deep he came back empty-handed death kept the body the tablet kept the man [Verse 3] An old man on the water already written the flood that ate the cities lives in a list of days [Bridge] What the receipt began the grief finishes barley learned to mourn and the mourner lasts [Final Chorus] He saw the deep he came back empty-handed death kept the body the tablet kept the man [Outro]
