Caligula's Horse - The Tempest

You got your way, like lullabies
Is that the lie that you hoped for?
The closing fist and the butterfly
Tell me that’s the way that you want it

Would you settle for a piece of enough?
A broken back to deliver,
when you carry your heart of gold and sell us all down the river

There’s no saints save for the strength to stand,
for the rise of the righteous man
Let time be the witness, the riot, the rain

There’s no saints
Only the thunder in skin, the frailty
There’s no saints
We are the rising cascade, the rolling wave
There’s no saints to save me

Want me to watch like mother’s eyes?
I got your witness here for you
I see the first and the last to be mine,
nothing more for my soul to magnify

I see the beauty in the bliss as it bleeds
I hear the thunder before me
And it wasn’t a weight you gave me
Don’t need no saint to save me

There’s no saints save for the strength to stand,
for the rise of the righteous man
But we are the tempest, the rapture, the rage

There’s no saints,
only the storm and the sin, the beauty
There’s no saints
We are the blood and the blame,
the stone, the same
There’s no saints to save me

The sea, the storm was always you
The call of the cascade
I see no god in here but you,
the water, the cascade
And we could drown the world in truth, in concord
So dare I just let them set their fires?
They’ll find no witness

I’ll swear by no saints
