We plunge in
Db
A glance
Db
Then strikes

A blinding light

The end

And flows in
Bb
The daylight

Now it drags and pulls

And tears out every particle

In the skin
Db
Your (skin)

It digs its claws
Bb
And lacerates

And tears out every particle

Joints ache
Cm
And crack, they are dislocated

We raise our bowed bodies
Cm
The spine we straighten
Gm
Blood runs in the veins
