lyrics

Burnt honey drips
From the ever-quakin’ lips
Of last year’s Judas Iscariot
Scattered 'cross the plate
The prey and all its weight
Killed it but couldn’t bury it

The moon—a cup
Once filled up
With blood, silver, and golden
In the ruins of its light
Jagged, ice-bright
Fists full of shadows unfoldin’

Tell me, father
Did you know?
Did you know?
Tell me, father
Did you know
The one they call Chateau?

Eyes heavy
As the lid against the levee
Sleepless since the carnival
What’s done here is done
What was none is one
To fall how one was born to fall

Silhouetted by
The ruddy-tinted sky
A figure—vast—approachin’
Footprints in the sand
Like the fingers in his hand
Numbered and closin’ in

Tell me, father
Did you know?
Did you know?
Tell me, father
Did you know
The one they call Chateau?

Tell me, father
Did you know?
Did you know?
Tell me, father
Did you know
The one they call Chateau?
