A slow burn, down to the last dead letter

Sulphur to cover up the smell of the blood in the water

Absolve me

Could kick out the flame but we both know better than to follow a road to its end

Just give me that feeling again

Sing

A slow burn

A bite to the bone, a shudder

Lay down and die in the mud like a good little soldier

Absolve me

Could kick out the flame but we both know better

You'll follow that rope to its end to give me that feeling again

Now sing, wreck

A slow turn

Blind to the verdant mother

Lay down, refusing to believe it's over

Absolve me It's a kick in the teeth I'm not that better man

And I'm on my knees at the end to beg for that feeling again



Sling hope around your neck

When you fell out of the world, you saw that it still turned

Only mercy for the dead

Sling hope around your neck

You're not done yet

You don't learn

Still striving to understand

Stay down

The tongue bites the blood for a taste of the backhand

We're home free, but fixing the fight leaves us all no better than the hammer that's striking the nerve

We're getting just what we deserve

Now sing, wreck

Now sing, wreck

Take wrong and ruin intertwined and pour your nothing into mine

Where do I put the violence? He's gone, and I still carry it

Golem

For all the peace you'll never find, for all your little suicides, you turn and face the bayonets

It's time

Get up and finish it

Golem

Follow that rope to its end to give me that feeling again

Now, sing

When you fell out of the world with no hope to return, did you think we would forget?

Sling hope around your neck

You're not done yet

O, Mother, won't you save me?

O, Mother please, we're bleeding out

Just send the sun to face me and tell me that I'm needed now

O, Mother, won't you pull me down?

I'll raise a voice

I'll pay the debt

Don't let the silence take me yet
