Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Oh, hear them call, from hell on earth
Oh, hear them call, from nature's dome
From far beyond, oh hear them call

Oh, hear them
Oh, hear them

Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Oh, hear them call, from skies above
From down below, oh hear them call

Oh, hear them

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Silence is broken, the knot is too tight
The desert compels me to do what is right

Break from the ordinary, do what's necessary
Pray for death, pray for ecstasy
Skin off the human shell, so broken and frail
Lock the gates behind the hermit saints

Oh, hear them call! Behold the hermit saints

Oh, hear them call!

    I think this is about turning our backs to the conventions of modernity, living free of faith & fear in order to exist at a more honest raw capacity - to become closer to our own convictions, our own ideology and inhabit truly as we were meant to.
