Waldo & Pigpen

(альбом: Genesis XIX - 2020)

We were young boys in old men's bodies
Beheaded but still alive
Baptized in foreign blood
Dead for sure before we died
Darkness fulfilled the yearning dreams
They slipped the sucking baby from the breast

Rolling in, straight ahead, the chasm just in front of me
Streaming flames, a thousand suns, the sky is full of greed
Bellowing bombs pick up the slick, there is no place like war
The cannons spurt, the angels cry, staring down the hallowed ground
Surrounded by the goddamn brute, a war you never understood
Receiving fire from the western side
No time to breathe, no warning signs

Condemned for all eternity
Don't want to die in bits and pieces
The fire destroys, but darkness remains
Into the open eyes of the living dead

Waldo and Pigpen
Their diaries painted in blood

Waldo and Pigpen
Revived from crimson mud

We were young boys in old men's bodies
Beheaded but still alive
Baptized in foreign blood
Dead for sure before we died
Darkness fulfilled the yearning dreams
They slipped the sucking baby from the breast

Invade and escape, it's not for real
I turned my eyes to Heaven
Raging storm, it's not a drill
There's something out of Hell
Wailing sirens, breaking bones
Manual pest control
I've flown my eagle slow enough
To see you clearly die

Surrounded by the goddamn brute
A war you never understood
Receiving fire from the western side
No time to breathe, no warning signs

Condemned for all eternity
Don't want to die in bits and pieces
The fire destroys, but darkness remains
Into the open eyes of the living dead
