In The Thrall Of It All

(앨범: Down III: Over The Under - 2007)

Go slow

Cruel to himself and generous about it
Cruel to the world, not hard to spot it
Can't give up, shut up, on a tirade
Off the top of his head
So ripe, becoming rotten

He's hit the wailing wall
To pass out hard upon
He's kissed the wailing wall
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all

Failed his name with no care to hide it
Failed escape, it's documented
Instilled or distilled
The spike or the chill
It's immolation
The lust of non-existence

He's hit the wailing wall
To pass out hard upon
He's kissed the wailing wall
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all

Headstone tells but nothing about him
Headstone reads two decades wasted
A funeral pyre
No one to burn it (and nobody attending)
Because self-destruction brings misfortune
In the thrall of it all

No lower heaven for his bones
Nor handing life back what it's owed
Caretaker careless of what he's sown
Porously reaching his lowest low

The negative has just begun
Joining the war impossible
In the thrall of it all

(He's hit the wailing wall)
In the thrall of it all
(He's kissed the wailing wall)
In the thrall of it all

(He's hit the wailing wall)
In the thrall of it all
(He's kissed the wailing wall)
In the thrall of it all

In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
In the thrall of it all
