lyrics

the land is left with
the stretch marks of a summer that
somewhere far away still beats down upon her
but what’s wrong and right here
is black and white as skin
so if water cleanses us of sin
then it’s a good thing the rain is coming

‘cause i have lived nights not even the cactus could survive
and all the fireflies they were burned alive
now i am the Carcass and you are the Pride
but it was suicide
yeah i am the Carcass and you are the Pride
but it was suicide

so set light to this song
when i’m gone
set light to this song
when i’m gone

beyond the acacia tree
we lie beneath
is the biggest stretch of blue sky i’ve ever seen
but what’s wrong and right here
is black and white as skin
so if water cleanses us of sin
then it’s a good thing the rain is coming

so set light to this song
when i’m gone
set light to this song
when i’m gone
‘cause i am the Carcass and you are the Pride
but it was suicide
yeah i am the Carcass and you are the Pride
but it was suicide

and the land is left with
the stretch marks of a summer that
somewhere far away still beats down upon her
but what’s wrong and right here
is black and white as skin
so if water cleanses us of sin
then it’s a good thing the rain is coming
