A fire's burning at the city limit
Guess I should have left last week or yesterday
What do you say we make a break and
Fall through the cars
What a precious sight
Black smoke and the smell of dynamite
But something ain't right
Oh God it must be
Jerry Christ mandering our vision
Black top ending all too suddenly
The man in white robes has something to say
I have brought you the mountain
I have brought you the hills
Dislodged and cast away we have the mountain,
the freedom, the god-fearing empire
Aluminum Kingdom
To have and raze to the earth

A Swordfight with Jesus
04:42
|
|||
|
The battle was won by a pair of green eyes,
Unassuming flesh that with lazer precision,
Did buckle, did burn, and cast me down out of the sky
I said, "hey now my friend what are you doing tonight"
"Not much, praising Jesus, and not getting high on a landslide four-lane at the edge of town. So do you drive?"
Oh well I lost it again,
Another late night friend
So what? I've blown up
I can't keep entertaining these little lies
Creeping down the line
Don't make me suffer these horrible infants
I'll go home, shut the door, turn the locks, and drive in the nails
I'll draw the curtain, go to bed, cover up, and burn it down.

The Body
04:54
|
|||
|
Back to the shelving wars and the meticulous planning of a day.
Hours drip into his hands for years he fought-- then became-- the Man.
They don't need us to breathe
We don't care to breed anymore
When enough is enough
We don't want to bleed on the floor
Hour by hour the body is never enough
Second by second we're clawing and scratching the door
Back to the empty promises I've made
in my childhood before I had seen the open graves
In the earth, and the leaves
The concrete, and the dreams
And the pulse, and the blood,
The love, and the weeds,
The snow, and the oil
The rain, and the waves
Oh this unnatural disaster to become
But they don't need us to breathe
When enough is enough
We don't want to bleed on the floor
Hour by hour the body is never enough
Second by second we're clawing and scratching the door

Gaslit on the Precipice
02:26
|
|||
|
Wound in and around
the natural filaments in the underground
Touch the leaves with bare feet
Feel the pulse of the roots and animals
We still love you everyday
I still love you everyday
When we burn down the forest
and there's no shade to adore
We still love you everyday
I still love you everyday
Down.. you're going to drown
for digging up graves
And making the evaporate
We still love you everyday
We still love you everyday
I still love you everyday
I still love you every--

The Valley
16:42
|
|||
|
Day in and out, running around to the sounds of oblivion
I can't believe this
Business is booming
Fingers like knives stab at the wares
This place isn't made for this
Where the hell is my deliverance
Gotta keep warm, gotta be too dog
Gotta dominate this slice of earth
It's all for the worms
|

|
One last look down the hills
The borders always killed me
Too afraid to ask for help
All of the water is gone
Lost in carbonation
Forgotten on the shelves
Shut off from the world
We knew we did the right thing
Even with the wolves at the door
Plastic glaciers
To draw in visitors
The other worldly
It's too late
For the commercial break in heaven
No one can save us now
