Hieroglyphs

Hieroglyphs - The Oh Hellos

Stamping your heels along with the drum

Praying the serpent's underneath one of em

Like there's some villain left to defeat

Instead of a dance with a rhythm and beat

Cause you've been too busy thinking ahead

Of where we're all going after we're dead

To maybe consider our bodies are worth

More than the dust that we can return

To the ground again

We turn that old wheel round again

Well even the great celestial hieroglyphs

Are bodies of dust illuminated and if

The heavens can be both sacred and dust

Oh maybe so can the rest of us

Cause I've seen the line of ocean and shore

The tumbling tide of water and soil

And I've seen the day's fading begin

The gradient wake of the sun that spins

Around again

It'll burn that old wheel down in the end
