Rivers of Blood

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

Land of Milk and Honey

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

Ignorance is Bliss

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

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

..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..
