un.
'you will not give in,' says the soul to the skin,
'now give me those animal thoughts you've been hiding.'
deux.
someday we may see a woman king, sword in hand,
swing at some evil and bleed.
trois.
ply her heart with gold and silver, take your sweetheart down to the river.
dash her on the paving stones; it may break your heart to break her bones,
but someone's got to do the culling of the fold.
quatre.
i wanna know who lets the wolves in, and can I see him tonight?
i wanna know that man in sheepskin, 'cause I owe him a fight
in the valley below, oh, a red river flows. it ain’t right.
i’m gonna add him below to that river of souls, tonight.
cinq.
so suddenly the madness came, with its whiskered, wolven, ether pangs
he locked the door and shut the blinds. he laid down on the floor and he slept like iron
while the dirty knife worked deep into his spine
six.
bring your love, it's on your tongue, it's on your roads, and in your toes.
there's blood on the snow. tuesday's violence, we're alone.
sept.
come the war. come the avarice. come the war. come hell
come attrition. come the reek of bones. come attrition. come hell
this is why, why we fight, why we lie awake
and this is why, this is why we fight.
huit.
born inside the gates of the family, hardened by a roman machinery
cast among the building sites, the coiling wires, the shots collected
neuf.
he said to me, 'child, I'm afraid for your soul
these things that you're after, they can't be controlled
this beast that you're after will eat you alive and spit out your bones
she'll string you along and she'll sell you a lie
but there's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife
there is no courage in flirting with fear to prove you're alive
I've seen the true face of the things you call Life,
the voice of the siren that holds your desires
but Death, she is cunning, and clever as hell - and she'll eat you alive.
oh, she'll eat you alive'
