from the unrelenting beat of a pounding drum
|
(come anew)
|
from the seizing breast of a wicked beast
|
(we survive)
|
in the hallowed marriage of sound and revolt
|
(come anew)
|
to the hollowed, disparaged, shed and molt, overdue!
|
splintering fingers, gore strewn across each hand
|
(sinking stone [x2])
|
splintering fingers, gore strewn across each hand
|
(sinking stone [x2])
|
pray for a way out of here
|
pray for a way
|
|
no animal in all the kingdom shall ever strike me down
|
a coward in his finest moment
|
heavy is the head that wears the crown, c'mon!
|
be swift and painless, not a glancing blow right to the back of the head
|
to the back of the head
|
be swift and painless, not a glancing blow
|
(sinking stone [x2])
|
pray for a way out of here
|
pray for a way
|
|
a long, slow pull on the briar
|
ready, aim,
|
|
when the fire burns, callusing
|
topping off the urns, a sound remains
|
|
look to the actor in the heavy armor, his metal shakes
|
listen well to the deafening clamor whimpering makes
|
look now to the unassuming, unwavering
|
standing before the heavens, screaming
|
bring on the storm
|
bring on the storm, bring on the rain
|
bring on the jesters and bring on the pain
|
bring on the storm, bring on the rain
|
bring on the jesters and bring on the pain
|
|
the seed is planted, let the roots reach far and wide, and let it grow tall
|
let the rings remain intact on the inside
|
and though the autumn brings a fall of leaves
|
let it grow tall
|
(we come anew [x3])
