歌词

[00:10.11] Standing in the space
[00:15.34] That holds the silent lace of night away from you
[00:24.89] You think that you can hold
[00:30.42] The searing, molten gold between your fingers
[00:43.03] But it slips through, tearing tendons as it goes
[00:51.33] Exposing the white of a knuckle
[00:56.08] Flesh and metal forming letters in the mould
[01:11.01] Cradling your gun
[01:16.43] After choosing the ones you think should die
[01:25.69] Lying on the hill
[01:30.97] Crawling over the windowsill into your living-room
[01:42.27] They stare out, glass-eyed aimless heads
[01:50.45] Bodies torn by vultures
[01:55.15] You are the man whose hands are rank with the smell of death
[02:09.93] Saviour of the Fallen, Protector of the Weak
[02:16.84] Friend of the Tall Ones, Keeper of the Peace
[02:23.91] Ah, but it is the only way you know
[02:37.31] Looking out to sea
[02:42.52] A flattened plane of weeds which bears no living
[02:51.22] You crush life in your fist
[02:57.56] As your heart is kissed by the lips of death
[03:09.56] Ghosts betray you, ghosts betray you
[03:13.45] In the night they steal your eye from its socket
[03:21.71] And the ball hangs fallen on your cheek
[03:37.14] Complaining tongues are stilled
[03:42.40] A thousand mouths are filled with rusting metal
[03:51.35] Your face a shade of green
[03:57.11] Somehow you try to speak through all the garbage in your mouth
[04:08.54] But it won't come out
[04:12.58] And you cannot frame the words as your stepson
[04:20.62] Throws your fame into the flames and you are burned
[04:36.41] Saviour of the Fallen, Protector of the Weak
[04:43.49] Friend of the Tall Ones, Keeper of the Peace
[04:51.38] Ah, but it is the only way you know
[05:41.00] Live by sword and you shall die so
[05:44.50] All your power shall come to nought
[05:48.01] Every life you take is part of your own
[05:51.60] Death, not power, is what you've bought
[06:40.01] Cringing in your room
[06:46.26] Now the outriders of doom step on your threshold
[06:57.36] Begging for your life
[07:04.00] As the impartial knife sinks in your screaming flesh
[07:17.09] Without malice, merely taking murder's toll
[07:24.50] You must pay the price of hate
[07:29.03] And that price is your soul
[07:47.85] Live in peace or die forever in your war-room
