I'm watching the gray velvet of the night
It's eating up the walls of my neighborhood
It's taking the windows, it's taking their light
It's eating up the doors and the sidewalks too
It's taking the church and the houses around
It's taking the people inside too
It's stealing their prayers and hallelujahs
And they don't know, they don't even know
Like a shadow that can not be seen but smelled
That your body remembers but your mind forgot
It's not all dark yet but your light is raped
And it snows now, like ashes, fallen pieces of a broken god
It swallows the men and their halos with
Hollows them out as they sleep
It's taking their prayers and hallelujahs
And they don't know, they don't even know
