Hail

Paint the walls with fingers.
Let the kingdom come through.
To silence the robbers and dilute the news.
Someday they will find you and silence you, too.
Na na na na na na Hail! Ha ha ha ha ha ha hail!
Black fused galena coated on her eyes
And saffron lingered in the air to bring about the gods for fun.
Na na na na na na Hail! Ha ha ha ha ha ha hail!
Someday they will find you and silence you.
Someday they will find you and silence you, too.
Na na na na na na hail!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha hail, hail, hail!
Someday they will find you and they will cloak you.
And hide you in the glass for the people to call your end.
In the instant it took you to cross the threshold.
With a featherweight, featherweight, f f f featherweight featherweight,
They will find you, and they will SILENCE you.
Hail! They will find you, and they’ll silence you, too.
Hail…!

My Fiercest Love
04:51

So long were days of holding you.
To me, I had everything.
You who took course upon my ways.
Never the same, life’s but a game.
When you were gone, I never knew
This deepest chain. My soul’s been tamed.
I always thought I’d be alone,
Without a home.
You gave me everything.
Upon the stormy seas of time.
You calmed the waves,
And gave me place to call my own.
My fiercest love don’t turn away.
Cease not you ever gripping eyes.
And hold me tight… Hold me tight…
Hold me tight.
So long were the days.
You took hold upon my ways.
Never again.
Never again. Hold me tight, never again.
Hold me tight, hold me tight… Never again.
I turned away, cease not your ever gripping eyes
And hold me tight...

So you think you can take us all?
Well my sir, you are very wrong.
Once before you were very well,
But that day shall soon be done.
You’ll be sorry, that you ever tried to break us down.
And you’ll pay what’s rightly ours.
And you’ll hear us, echo our battle cry.
The breath we were born with,
We’ll keep for all time.
You took us in barren times,
When brother took brother at arms.
We still fight for our borders,
But our heart will stave away harm.
You’ll be sorry, that you ever tried to break us down.
And you’ll pay what’s rightly ours.
And you’ll hear us, echo our battle cry.
The breath we were born with,
We’ll keep for all time.
When these women were left to die,
And our men, they accepted your orders
Not one more shall suffer like this.
You’ll be kneeling down before us.
You’ll be sorry, that you ever tried to break us down.
And you’ll pay what’s rightly ours.
And you’ll hear us, echo our battle cry.
The breath we were born with,
We’ll keep for all time.

Look Back in Reverse
02:05
|

|
When I look back in reverse
Upon old reels of film,
I twist all of my words
And heal these fables.
Still feel an ounce of remorse.
What brought us to this
So you don’t even want me?
And you stuff that scowl in your face?
You never used to hold it for so long.
You used to smile, but now it’s all gone.
Then in the same, your relief was so high.
Forcing first joy in so long.
And it’s clear that we’re good for a while
Until freedom comes and catches your eye.
What happened to us
So you don’t even want me?
And you stuff that scowl in your face?
You never used to hold it for so long.
You used to smile
You used to smile, but now it’s all gone.

In the Flames
04:38
|
|||
|
What is the matter with you? You’ve changed all the walls and boundaries.
Why do you profess to love when you so clearly have no real concern?
Why do you, why do you, muddle ‘round the way that you feel?
You stop and you turn, you sit and you burn away the things we had.
In a pile, all the photographs.
In the flames there’s something more to this. On your lips are all the words you once spat out.
Is there something more to this, or have I just lost my mind?
Where’s your attention gone, when you block out the world? With your technological mess. Where’s the sense in this?
When I’m sat right in front of you and not once do you look at who you’re with.
Why do you, why do you, not see what you do?
You stop and you turn, and you sit and you burn away the things we had.
In a pile, all the photographs.
In the flames there’s something more to this. On your lips are all the words you once spat out.
Is there something more to this, or have I just lost my mind?
I’m losing all my hope, that you’ll ever look at me again. That you’ll ever make it up to the surface. Ever make it up, will you? Well I don’t know. Will you ever make it back to me alive? Alive… I don’t know…
In a pile, all the photographs
In the flames there’s something more to this. On your lips are all the words you once spat out.
Is there something more to this, or have I just lost my mind?

What is England
04:00
|
|||
|
Old Southern rail, takes me home
The home I was given.
And I, become just a bit more civil.
Blue puffy skies,
Clean my room.
The grass is green here.
And I become what is England.
Oh, you see the houses.
And the sun will never die.
Oh, the wooden fences,
And the Bentley in the drive.
And I become what is England.
Cool sweet tea caffeine,
Drop a fat drop on my shoe.
Whoa Oh… the way these summers glisten.
Makes a postcard every time…
The isle stands from earshot.
Is an endless wash of sea.
And I, become, what is England.

I Lost My Faith
04:26
|
|||
|
I lost my faith today in politics,
In the fate of man,
In the sleight of hand.
I lost my faith today in the work of god,
Who will smash the rod, and the snake will consume us.
I lost my faith today in peace, love, and understanding.
When you look at me like that, where is my faith?
You took it all, you took my faith away.
I lost my faith today in nature, maturity, and sensibility
When you stabbed me in the back.
I lost my faith today when you leave your junk on the floor.
And the landfills spill and the oil rigs drill.
Oh I, lost my faith today.
You took it all.
You took my faith away.
I lost my faith today in the working man
And the unions, and those weary behind the picket lines.
Cause you see we’re really all the same. We’re all humans, aren’t we?
We’re all humans, aren’t we?... And that’s where the fault lies.
You took it all. You took my faith away.
You took it all. You take my faith away.
You took it all. You took my faith away.
