Текст песни The Grey Cardinal (Collapsing Scenery) с переводом

You set fire to your own house

Out like a lizard, but in like a mouse

You can’t tame the beast, the beast tames you

In the Cardinal’s America, the swamp drains you

Everywhere’s an end, and everywhere a middle

The means to an end: an unsolvable riddle

Your traffic in the diction of gangster fiction

Your boilerplate reads: «a perpetual friction»

'Every God is a God of death'

They draw you closer with every breath

Your Papa’s a monster, his passerine too

But everything which burns is not consumed

Hellfire won’t manage to turn them to ash

They nest in volcanoes, in mountains of cash

'Every God is a God of death'

They draw you closer with every breath

(Why take care of the past

When the past couldn’t take care of you?)

Waiting for a, a Reischtag fire

A new world born out of a funeral pyre

Bathe in the blood or incandesce

Your soul or your body must experience death

That’s right

'Cause 'every God is a God of death'

They draw you closer with every breath

Yeah, 'every God is a God of death'

They draw you closer with every breath, all right
