I'm gonna show you what's cool
I'm gonna handle your horizons
like a dog in a fight
I think you might be underestimating all of my charms
Or maybe I'm just overconfident
I have no accomplishments
that ever brought me anything but oh annihilation
surrender the steel, and now the company kills
oh why is nothing sacred
the kids are on the train, and there (are) vultures taking over the hill
you watch your children hide
no one cries for our rewind
hands in trigger pose
another spirit rises
you shouldn't live so large
while I'm still in the room
[oh they're coming for you]
I hear you counting your fears
I'm estimating their value
[oh what will you do?]
If I could be anything, if only I were anything, I want to be your anything
or nothing at all
I have no accomplishments
that ever brought me anything
but oh annihilation
I surrendered to you, and now your company kills
the kids are on the train, and there (are) vultures taking over the hill

The Pass (part one)
02:30
|

|
oil blackened harvest
lay us down to rest
carry us beyond your seven seas.
no horizon: where time cannot exist:
offer no asylum but retreat.
Come to me, oh, come to me --
I will feed your pain:
Who is come?
Will no one not escape?
a wooden heart dissolves inside the wake.

The Pass (part two)

Will we ever be the same
as some forgotten morning we once shared?
We were laughing at our freedom as you told me,
"The master has no plan."
And I felt you growing weaker
as you tied another ribbon around my wrist
Then took me to the pass
to watch the fishermen departing
see you now as some lost part of me
we'll swim to breathe and die inside their nets
'Cuz we have been bound together
in these suspicious times
And we will go down together
in our suspicious times
They said the only answer
you have to radiate your mind
'cuz we can't go on forever
in our suspicious times

Faithful Elephants

I'll be your faithful elephants—
and won't drink from the captain's cup /
keeper wash halo / crimson / all we need is a little luck
hid in the flames / the silver spark sheen
melts the dust / and binds to the lung
belly-up and my child is starving
the money’s short and our time is up
blanket hid / a cold drum knocking / the needle burns and pulls you away /paradise is nowhere waiting / another trap with no escape
soaked in the flames / to stop the bleeding /
back to dust / and a burned out lung
belly-up and my child is starving
the money’s short and our time is up
justified my house starving /the money's short and our time is up
