Lyrics
He?s all that we?ve wanted, and we?ve wanted so little.
He?s taken his time being broken so gingerly.
He asks me for questions every time he refuses to answer.
He turns into answers as he turns into me.
CHORUS
They will break you down just to hear you speak your name.
In the absence of God and law no one hears you scream.
An unbearable pall will reach like a shadow.
The differences in the fighters will fade.
The pain and the hunger will fuel and protect them.
And the meek?they will inherit.
I?ll lie to appease you, and I?ll bleed to forget you.
I?ll laugh in the face of your foolish pain.
We all have our limits, and yours are so human.
The kingdom of me is not yours to reign.
CHORUS
They open the door and there are only shadows.
The air is so thick, and too heavy to breathe.
They ask and they answer as if it all matters.
And it will continue as they both have a need.
They will break you down just to hear you speak your name.
In the absence of God and law no one hears you scream.
The rhetoric is flying the hawks they are circling.
Reason is fighting the gravity of spin.
Feet they are marching; production is shifting.
Cry havoc. The dogs of war are loose again.
