Careful now, you've come too close
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us
I am captive high on a daily basis
The amount I can't control the way
I understand your many faces
I lose the sense of what you mean to me
Because I know you are the one who can save me
With eyes aged along with history
I can't pretend that something else would convey me
To live one day without the thought of you and me
Carry on through the night
It's a mess we've made too many times
I spend my days avoiding light
Lose my view of what you mean to me
Careful now, you've come too close
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us
So put your weight on top of it
Lay into moments that you compliment
Fragile feasting lion
Taking a bite of what he never tasted
Yet he never feared
Sermons of an anchor
It's such a delicate race
I promised my mother
I would end in a righteous place
So put your weight on top of it
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us
I am captive high on a daily basis
The amount I can't control the way
I understand your many faces
I lose the sense of what you mean to me
Because I know you are the one who can save me
With eyes aged along with history
I can't pretend that something else would convey me
To live one day without the thought of you and me
Carry on through the night
It's a mess we've made too many times
I spend my days avoiding light
Lose my view of what you mean to me
Careful now, you've come too close
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us
So put your weight on top of it
Lay into moments that you compliment
Fragile feasting lion
Taking a bite of what he never tasted
Yet he never feared
Sermons of an anchor
It's such a delicate race
I promised my mother
I would end in a righteous place
So put your weight on top of it

I'll start defining this song by explaining the egyptian god 'Osiris' who was the judge of the dead & the underworld, and the agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation & the fertile flooding of the 'Nile River'. He was described as "He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful" & the "Lord of Silence". I think that this song is could be about his legacy, & possibly other egyptian gods in relation to the Nile. The lyrics describe a sliver of gold, a holy ghost, eyes aged along with history - so aside from the songs title of course - there's certainly a few references that point towards that.
