To not focus on the limb that's missing

With the damn phantom thing itching

Is a difficult mission

But listen:

With much of the whole intact

In this great anarchic expanse

It mostly comes down to a gang of ants

Swarming on the shadow of the stain of a drop of blood

[Chorus]

January February March

Since you've gone away

[Verse 3]

Constantly rising from and falling into flame

My body knows more than I can form with my brain

And with a roar from the deepest core cave

Cut a coil of those  Old spoiled ways

[Chorus]
