lyrics

we buried the body of the platter head
we warmed our hands on the stale bread
this is my house, i think he said,
don't need a platter for the meal to spread

he left us alone on a boat
he left the winds to rumble the float
why does this man speak in wheat?
told us to hide the fish under the seat

we saw him walk on the sea line
we didn't know where the wind would drive
when he reached his hand
we prayed this ghost is on our side

he's calling me by a new name
now the blood on the rose doesn't mean the same
he wants to lose and he wants to save
he locked a secret in the grave

we saw him light up with the sky
we were so scared to be alive
when he came back down
i knew no one will believe our eyes

none of us can bear to weep
we almost forgot there's nothing to eat
after everything we saw
the night is too bright to fall asleep

where Daniel and Gideon align
we saw a ghost with a candle shine
he covered our cry
like everything is fine

with the wound on his side
we didn't know how he could be alive
then he took out the fish
and said "let's eat, because soon again,
we'll hide."
