Songs of Longing - Fun and Blood

I bring the fire with me

You’re gonna beg for mercy

I bring the fire with me

And a damn bitter glory

I bring destruction with me

I’m finding freedom truly

I bring destruction with me

I bring a sweet victory

You love your vast monuments

You love the games you play

I love the deep fundaments

That birth a brand new day

There is music in the air

There are rainbows in the sky

There is singing in my heart

And your people won’t deny

———

That the dead and the hurting they will rise

You’ll hear all the stifled, broken cries

And you will be cut through by surprise

Until you all lose all that you prize

———

I bring the horror with me

You’re going to be forced to see

I bring the horror with me

You will see all your cruelty

I bring the vengeance with me

And you’ve been found unworthy

I bring the vengeance with me

Against you and your luxury

You love your adoring fans

You love the fame they gave

I I love the fact that I can

All of my people save

There is hunger in the air

There are spirits in the sky

There is rage inside my heart

And your preachers can’t deny

———

That the dead and the hurting they will rise

You’ll hear all the stifled, broken cries

And you will be cut through by surprise

Until you all lose all that you prize

———

Oh comfort oh joy and oh apathy

Your comfort, your joy and your apathy

Was built on our backs and our poverty

Was built on our desperate poverty

Was built on exploitative cruelty

You hide in your bright smiles your cruelty

Oh deep desperation, we are not free

Though you in your houses, you lot are free

But one sacred red dawn rising bloody

We will leave your minds and bodies bloody

———

All the dead and the hurting they will rise

You’ll hear all the stifled, broken cries

And you will be cut through by surprise

Until you all lose all that you prize

———

You play games, you play games

All your life is fun and games

You play games you play games

But our music you can’t tame

You play games338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn0tZHZteg
