What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
...The horror, that we may not live
2
We may not live
3
To see the walls fall from between us
4
Between us and the world which these songs cry out
5
That the desire, which still lives, to contest, a mark of shame upon certain
6
foreheads,
7
will remain an offering unto the dead, illegible, irrelevant
8
And we will be shaped into priestly statues in poses of defiance before our
9
own masters
10
To softly, safely sing the praises of a disarmed war, a lukewarm love
11
So lest we fall out of lust for life, let us risk all we have to risk
12
For only a fool, only a fool, would cling to this world as it is
13
If i could strike one blow to spite their forces, though i might bear one
14
hundred more,
15
I would wear the welts like rubies, and the shackles for a crown
16
And if i had one hundred hearts I would throw them all before their bullets
17
Before I´d sell a single one to wield their power
18
So lest we fall out of love with life, let us give all we have to give
19
For only a fool would cling to this world
20
Autumn, the leaves fell,
21
Then the trees
22
Became fences and factories
23
Now winter is coming
24
Let´s put the heat on
25
...but no fire or ice, their absences suffice
26
The nights now wil be long and cold, with a silence like you never known
27
And you´ll shake in it, cry out at it, but it will wrap you in its spiders
28
thread
29
Perhaps you´ll stare into that blankness until it peers back into you
30
And both of you see nothing, and it wil wrap you in its spiders thread
31
That blessed are the womb that are barren
32
Blessed are the branches tha bear no fruit
33
Blessed are the rivers run dry
34
For we have come to the end of the world
35
To die
36
So die...die and become perish, let go and be done
37
With all the tangled threads that keep you tied to husks of false hopes,
38
fossilized
39
If these years still wait for those who will be more merciless than history
40
To burn the chaff and make an end, to make the fields fertile once again
41
Then break...break the skin
42
Open...open and reach in
43
And draw the nerves out taut to play a song upon those tight strings
44
Such as this world has never heard
45
Let it be dirge, hymn, or dance, vomit or tears, absolving snowfall or acid
46
rain
47
Summer that sets fire to the harvest, or ice age that, thawing, blossoms
48
crimson pain
49
Pleasure or death, splendor or rust, flash flood or drought tha turns
50
jungles to crust
51
Those tender caresses for which the skin aches
52
Or tear gas to breathe and plate glass to break
53
The uproar of riot, the hush of nightfall, or sirens announcing the doom of
54
us all
55
The triumph of failures who fought at all costs, or despair of derelict
56
dreams who lost
57
Silence and space...hungers to be...momentary eternities
58
The furrows of ash left by passion and wrath
59
The faithless fixed stars over our wandering paths
60
As the moon moves the see, we could move these mountains
61
As comets drop to earth, so might empires end
62
As old suns explode rather than fall to dust
63
Let us steal fire and pay with our lives if we must
64
For if all this world is God´s, and man a mens plaything of laws and strings
65
Then why not raze it all, and in destroying at least set sail on borrowed
66
wing?
67
Anything other than what we have known
68
Strike the match, take a breath now...the hour has come
69
To dance the resistance, teach tied tongues to sing
70
This is the end of the calendar, the last loosening!
71
Around and inside you, the violence you fear...for or against it, it´s
72
already here
73
It forged the cord that bound you to the ground...it built these walls
74
LET BURN THEM DOWN!
