Lynch Pins

(альбом: Cold Hearted Town - 2013)

Wake up and find your city lost
Try to muscle out of bed
Flex your hands, remind yourself about the plan, count down from ten
Get your pipes and chains
Try to remember what is good from bad
Get your mask on
Walk out the door to get the task done

This is a necessary evil for the good, at least that's what they say
And they remind you of the debt you owe about every single day
Some people find purpose in loss
Some people put their faith in God
What are you gonna cling to for safety when the lights go off?

Kick open the door
Wrestle the man to the ground
Tie his hands and legs with chains and then go straight into the back room
Take out a can of paint
Scrawl the writing on the wall:
"Nobody is safe, protect the ones you love"

This is a necessary public service for the good ones left
And they are slimming in number by the minute as the lynch pins bend
Some people find purpose in loss
Some people put their faith in God
What are you gonna cling to for safety when the lights go off?
