Rock your babe to sleep Sleep sweet darling Be sure to put away your dreams Tucked carefully between Bodies lying in the streets Now we're trained to speak Ever so softly And our state of safety Is in constant decay What has become of our liberties These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood Dear God Sweet love where have you gone Play your symphony To marching feet The melody is cold It penetrates the bones And all the silence is deafening These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood Dear God Sweet love where have you gone It can't be true be glad it wasn't you And all the headlines say We can't believe this tragedy Our thoughts and prayers Just waste away Like the memories of the days we spent so unafraid If we make a plan We can make a stand Who's with me now Dear God I wasn't talking Head down carry on carry on Head down carry on carry on Head down carry on carry on Head down carry on carry on These streets, once filled with song, are now Rivers of Blood now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood, now they're rivers of blood Dear God Sweet love where have you gone I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands I just don't understand how you point the finger with blood still on your hands

In your arms I become more than human Transcending to a world Where all the sound is color You flow through me Here there is nothing Here there is no one We are becoming One In your mouth I've come to know my home Is not a place I know It's now a journey I travel Beyond one body Here there is nothing Here there is no one We are becoming One

Must Be Love 03:30
She comes for you When you’re fast asleep Turns your nightmares Into sweet dreams Builds a whole new world from the clay She crucified the fools that get in her way Said it Must Be Love Oh it Must Be love Said it Must Be Love Yes is Must Be Love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I want your soul She knows your history You wished you’d never done Makes you breathe fire Recite wretched tongues You can beat yourself all night long She’ll make you come to terms with everything you’ve done Said it Must Be Love Oh it Must Be love Said it Must Be Love Yes is Must Be Love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I want your soul He came from outer space From a black hole Heart made of stars Intergalactic stone Thought he was a God but you know She choked him with her legs and made his heart explode Said it Must Be Love Oh it Must Be love Said it Must Be Love Yes is Must Be Love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I don’t want your love I want your soul Oh Oh she’s coming for you Boy there’s nothing you can do Oh God, Lord have Mercy, Yes

Dying Spring 04:26
All the world in bloom I feel tectonic plates move Spinning this universe Like a headache As our eyes meet We need not speak Another word As I lay my head In your hands One last time As I lay my head In your hands One last time Curse this disease A snake wrapped around our dreams Each night carries stars Gently painting your tired eyes I kneel at your feet We need not speak Another word As I lay my head In your hands One last time As I lay my head In your hands One last time And I sleep Sweet dreams

He said please help We said no You did it to yourself She said please help We said no So look somewhere else Well fuck me What does it mean to be civilized Cause I can't believe, I can't believe What I see Right here In front of my, in front of my eyes If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily pissed If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily, happily pissed They said please help We said no Go on home They said please help We said no We barely wanna take care of our own Well fuck me What does it mean to be civilized Cause I can't believe, I can't believe What I see Right here In front of my, in front of my eyes If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily pissed If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily, happily pissed I'm sick of all your contemplating soft debating fuck off hating every time you open your mouth masturbating rapid fire vapid liar always try to test me. And it's devils advocates I bury for fun. Spit in your mouth and I walk the fuck on. Fucking hear me. Freedom can't exist without equality. If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily pissed If Ignorance is Bliss I'm happily, happily pissed.

At the crossroads I shot a devil At the crossroads I shot a devil On my way to the free city There was a man where the road is splitting He could never know His end was my beginning He stood as tall as an old oak tree With bloody hands and pockets full of money Fortune teller eyes turn at my coming At the crossroads I shot a devil At the crossroads I shot a devil He raised his fist just like a killer He said, "I am God and I will deliver. Obey me. You'll be saved you sinners." At the crossroads I shot a devil At the crossroads I shot a devil "You do as I say and you'll have salvation." "You do as I say or you'll have damnation." Oh, I put a pistol in his mouth And layed two coins on his eyes At the crossroads I shot a devil At the crossroads I shot a devil

Waves 03:49
..and I close my eyes to navigate your anatomy in our secret place where we rest quietly and listen to the waves crashing through you crashing through me while I hold my breath to hear you breathe pressed to your chest I could die happily..
