[00:20.32] |
Standing in the space |
[00:26.14] |
That holds the silent lace of night away from you |
[00:36.43] |
You think that you can hold |
[00:42.41] |
The searing, molten gold between your fingers |
[00:55.19] |
But it slips through, tearing tendons as it goes |
[01:04.84] |
Exposing the white of a knuckle |
[01:08.60] |
Flesh and metal forming letters in the mould |
[01:24.60] |
Cradling your gun |
[01:30.16] |
After choosing the ones you think should die |
[01:39.91] |
Lying on the hill |
[01:45.90] |
Crawling over the windowsill into your living-room |
[01:58.06] |
They stare out, glass-eyed aimless heads |
[02:06.04] |
Bodies torn by vultures |
[02:10.63] |
You are the man whose hands are rank with the smell of death |
[02:26.61] |
Saviour of the Fallen, Protector of the Weak |
[02:33.96] |
Friend of the Tall Ones, Keeper of the Peace |
[02:41.42] |
Ah, but it is the only way you know |
[02:55.76] |
Looking out to sea |
[03:01.98] |
A flattened plane of weeds which bears no living |
[03:12.12] |
You crush life in your fist |
[03:18.43] |
As your heart is kissed by the lips of death |
[03:30.59] |
Ghosts betray you, ghosts betray you |
[03:34.64] |
In the night they steal your eye from its socket |
[03:43.73] |
And the ball hangs fallen on your cheek |
[04:00.12] |
Complaining tongues are stilled |
[04:05.56] |
A thousand mouths are filled with rusting metal |
[04:14.92] |
Your face a shade of green |
[04:21.99] |
Somehow you try to speak through all the garbage in your mouth |
[04:34.45] |
But it won't come out |
[04:38.62] |
And you cannot frame the words as your stepson |
[04:47.53] |
Throws your fame into the flames and you are burned |
[05:03.51] |
Saviour of the Fallen, Protector of the Weak |
[05:11.38] |
Friend of the Tall Ones, Keeper of the Peace |
[05:19.05] |
Ah, but it is the only way you know |
[06:00.66] |
Live by sword and you shall die so |
[06:04.56] |
All your power shall come to nought |
[06:08.37] |
Every life you take is part of your own |
[06:12.10] |
Death, not power, is what you've bought |
[07:02.99] |
Cringing in your room |
[07:10.21] |
Now the outriders of doom step on your threshold |
[07:21.25] |
Begging for your life |
[07:28.23] |
As the impartial knife sinks in your screaming flesh |
[07:41.43] |
Without malice, merely taking murder's toll |
[07:49.17] |
You must pay the price of hate |
[07:54.36] |
And that price is your soul |
[08:13.60] |
Live in peace or die forever in your war-room |
