Remnant

know who you are old man keep running

I caught your trail as you left the pines

Out into the fields where you couldn't hide nowhere

Just a thin stitch up against the rising line

And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling

Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling



I know who you are old man keep running

I tracked you down by the look in the eyes

Of a thousand gone faces pressed against their windows

Horses hiding in the willows 'til the storm passed by

And a fine gray dust seemed to settle on the future

A fine gray dust seemed to settle in between

Your hat and the dapple of my appaloosa

The only living things that I could see

And up through the blue I knew that stars were tumbling

Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling



I know who you are old man keep running

I walked across the bottom of the lake below

Your boat and did you know that when you landed I was watching

As the sky turned dark as the eyes of a foal

And I'll know you by the shift of the wind in the cobwebs

The sawdust swirls in the fins of the bullheads

The craters that you made when you lay down dreaming

Strange constellations that you gave new meaning

By the teeth marks you made on bones from the ice age

Then smell of the cinder burning slow in your rib cage

Listen in the distance and you'll hear my shadow

Footsteps soft as the tread of an echo

And up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling

Up through the blue I knew the stars were tumbling



And the ground will open out into a mouth below us

And the mouth will open out into the empty sky

And the whistle as we hurtle through the halls of onyx

The only sound around us as we go by

And I'll follow you out through the wells of charcoal

Moonlit stones around the cones of a black hole

Through the fields where grow the ever and forever

The tessellated blooms with the voids at their centers

Through the million rooms in a bead of luminescence

The filaments on the looms of dimension

The pillars of creation where they make the planets

The billion tiny teeth that tear the charge from your atoms

In a trillion tiny bites they'll eat the meat from the pearl

And throw your soul away a cold grey little world

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed

And nothing that is hidden will be revealed
