lyrics

I have raised an offer on this land,
I cannot drive you out, but I can try to force your hand.
A listless indecision in your blood,
But I am east, I am east by east by east.

I have gazed in awe at all you've done
But the palaces you've built from your great fictions all disolve upon your tongue
I have not come now to fight:
I am east, I am east by east by east,
I am east, I am east by east by east.

I stand amidst the dust of all your plans
It's gathered in the folds of your great robes that now are tatters in my hands
Even as you turn to land your parting blow,
I am east, I am east by east by east,
I am east, I am east by east by east.

The time it takes to tell you what I mean
Is my first major underestimation of the day
How hard can it be
To tell you what I'm thinking as I'm thinking it,
And not five seconds after the fact?
