Laser light upon my head
Breath of air you wind up dead
Razor wire, bloodbourne fear
News of fire a desperate year
Flash of light we wake at dawn
Streets ablaze we can't see anyone
Breached the wall the guns came through
Forced our way, Lost our youth
A signal to hold
To light you up
Collapse into roles
Try to toughen up
Foray by night looking for anything
That we can use to force our hand
For today we are accepting
The past is beyond control
New Day!
We entered the forest, a night bеgun
They drove out beforе us, we were overrun
A charade, the militia crosses uniforms fill all the roles
The result a pathetic collapse of the soul
The End!
A midnight attack, many dead, many sold
Escape by the river took all I could hold
Went east to the border sold ammo for clothes
The last of our bread for a rifle and bow
Blue light on a grey horizon
New fight, on this day I’m chosen
They're closing the gap
And there's nowhere to go
They’ll run down the walkers
Put your head out for show
I aim for the engine
They jumped as it slowed
They'll starve like the rest of us
Begging and cold
Moonlight and we're still standing
End times on the great abandon

We wake up, we fall down, we break in
We face up, we crawl down, we wade in
I think back, we survived on much less
A place lost, a dead wind (the smell of our flesh)
We wake up, we fall down, we break in
We face up, we crawl down, we wade in
There's a permanent grudge from neglect and disgust
There's a spiritual toil, reefs covered in oil
We phase out, we're tied down, we fade in
Back in line, head to head, missing eye
Incinerator, incinerator, accelerated, accelerated
Incinerator, the burning sun
Comes for me, for everyone
Accelerated, the rising sea
Swallow you, swallow me
Placated, out on the street
Armored car, bottles thrown at thee
Berated, beaten by PD
Oppressor, breaker of the peace
I hope that it's painless
I hope that it's painless
I hope that it's painless
I hope that it's painless
I hope that it's painless
I hope that it's painless
But I want you to hurt
I want you to hurt
I hope that it hurts
I hope that it hurts
They put them in cages
They put them in cages
They put them in cages
They put them in cages
I want you to hurt
I want you to hurt
I hope that it hurts
I hope that it hurts
We wake up, we fall down, we break in
We face up, we crawl down, we wade in
We phase out, we're tied down, we fade in
Back in line, head to head, missing eye

If you're feeling like you can't stand
Then get up and fucking run
If they're telling you you can't land
You aim for the fucking sun
Feelings you don't understand
You reach for your fucking guns
At the end of the promised land
Ruined for all to come
Wait for the siege
Reborn centurion
American legion
Forlorn centurion
A crusher of heads
A chaser of tails
A fight to the death
The foolish prevail
If you're feeling like a lost soul
Cease fire and let it go
Desire takes a toll
Fatigue and overload
Oppress and you'll receive
The kingdom falls as one
The kingdom falls as one
The kingdom falls as one
Wait for the siege
Reborn centurion
American legion
Forlorn centurion
Rage in the streets
Rot in the seed
Everyone's hurting
War no one needs
Raiding halls
Desperate release
Watch as it falls
Return the peace

In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
Faith, deceiver and destructor from the coming waves
Disguised with robes and gifts all meant for treachery
Survived thousands of years in eco-harmony
And you took it all away
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
Trade, a mission meant to plunder cheat and desecrate
The land was shared by all, a fertile territory
A brother of the cloth begins to negotiate
The promise of the afterlife, he said
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
In misery
Trade, removal resurrection, treaties all lies
Disease and infection, village on fire
Pray to the water, fall to your knees
The soil is provider, give it the respect that it needs
A mission gone bad
A mission gone bad
A mission gone bad
A mission gone bad
A mission gone bad
A mission gone bad (can't deny anymore)
A mission gone bad (can't deny anymore)
A mission gone bad (can't deny anymore)

I'm so tired of playing
Playing with this bow and arrow
Gonna give my heart away
Leave it to the other girls to play
For I've been a temptress for too long
Just
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
From this time, unchained
We're all looking at a different picture
Through this new frame of mind
A thousand flowers could bloom
Move over and give us some room, yeah
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
So don't you stop being a man
Just take a little look
From outside when you can
Sow a little tenderness
No matter if you cry
Give me a reason to love you
Give me a reason to be a woman
I just wanna be a woman
For this is the beginning
Of forever and ever
It's time to move over
It's all I wanna be

A mother to all the things
A mother to all the things we lost, we lost
A bearer of all the truth
A bearer of all the truth we wrought, we wrought
Creator of all the change
Of stone and many a page, forgot, forgotten
A savior to carry the weight
Enforcer to bury the parts that rot, that rot
A pledge, a victory then
The marrow removed by the hands of men, by the hands of men
Betrayal unearthed again
The scraps are dispersed again, like always, like always
Breathe fire then water, we'll bring
The names of deceivers, we'll sing all night, all night
A piston of fever, of pride
An army of thinkers, we whine, a call, call
The hammer will fall, make waves all over the world
The hammer will fall, make waves all over the world

Bow down to it
Bite into it
Can't undo it
Never prove it
I pray to the east and I turn to the left
Fucked off my interview and I put that to rest
I decide to be a vampire, in spite of ridicule
I'm entrenched in oils and garments, searching for the jewels
Held up a truck, pulls to the right
Refined my chemicals, now I feel alright
I can hear my clock is ticking, forensics on the prowl
Breath is on the window, fuel is winding down
Make your body sweat
Break your system yet
Did I makе your body sweat
Face your silhouettе
Cradle of lies, punisher form
I'll graze like a lion, the creator of storms
Well, it was just a brush fire, bursting at the seams
We collected all the rotten bits, devoured all the greens
Grab 'em by the legs, drown 'em in the stream
My head is severed but I'm still feelin' mean
I have to make an offer here that they can't refuse
A deal in foreign currency, life of abuse
Make your body sweat
Break your system yet
Did I make your body sweat
Face your silhouette
Come off the ledge
Need it more than anything
Come off the ledge
Need it more than anything
Did you make your body sweat
Did you break your system yet
Did you make your body sweat
Did you face your silhouette
Did you make your body sweat
Did you break your system yet
Did you make your body sweat
Did you face your silhouette
Did you make your body sweat
Did you break your system yet
Did you make your body sweat
Did you face your silhouette
Did you make your body sweat
Did you break your system yet

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately.
