DWELL IN THE DARK
By Moses Sumney
Why do you come here?
Why do you tear me apart?
I don't know why you're so
Made of material parts.
Why do you love fear
Carried around in the cart?
I don't know why you're so
Cloaks on mysterious heart.
You dwell in the dark, woh-oh
Dwell in the dark, oh-woh
Dwell in the dark, oh-woh
Dwell in the dark, ho-ho.
When you were little
You used to keep on the light
You grew up and grew in
And swallowed the spite.
And it won't be long now
Your body's wasting away
What's the point of this sham
Crafted in caves?
You dwell in the dark, woh-oh
Dwell in the dark, oh-woh
Dwell in the dark, oh-woh
Dwell in the dark, woh-oh-oh
And now can you open
A mind that's been broken down?
Illuminate the ocean floor
Make all the creatures bow
You'll come around when you're tired
Of being the night.
Dwell in the dark, oh-woh
Dwell in the dark, woh-oh
Dwell in the dark, ho-ho
Dwell in the dark ho-woh
Dwell in the dark, oh-oh
You dwell in the dark, oh-oh
You dwell in the dark, oh-woh
You dwell, yeah
You dwell in the dark, oh-oh-oh-oh
You dwell
You dwell the dark
And I am the dark.

A Note From The Gull
"And now can you open
A mind that's been broken down?
Illuminate the ocean floor
Make all the creatures bow
You'll come around when you're tired
Of being the night."
"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.
Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.
Mweh ka allay!
