Golem

(专辑： Charcoal Grace - 2024)

A slow burn
Down to the last dead letter
Sulphur to cover up the smell of the blood in the water
Absolve me
Could kick out the flame but we both know better than
To follow a road to its end
Just give me that feeling again
Sing

A slow burn
A bite to the bone, a shudder
Lay down and die in the mud like a good little soldier
Absolve me
Could kick out the flame but we both know better
You'll follow that rope to its end to give me that feeling again

Now sing, wreck

A slow turn
Blind to the verdant mother
Lay down, refusing to believe it's over
Absolve me
It's a kick in the teeth I'm not that better man
And I'm on my knees at the end to beg for that feeling again

(Sling hope around your neck)

When you fell out of the world
You saw that it still turned
Only mercy for the dead
Sling hope around your neck
You're not done yet

You don't learn
Still striving to understand
Stay down
The tongue bites the blood for a taste of the backhand
We're home free
But fixing the fight leaves us all no better than
The hammer that's striking the nerve
We're getting just what we deserve

Now sing, wreck
Now sing, wreck

Take wrong and ruin intertwined
And pour your nothing into mine
Where do I put the violence?
He's gone, and I still carry it
Golem...

For all the peace you'll never find
For all your little suicides
You turn and face the bayonets
It's time
Get up and finish it
Golem...

(Follow that rope to its end to give me that feeling again
Now, sing)

When you fell out of the world with no hope to return
Did you think we would forget?
Sling hope around your neck
You're not done yet

O, Mother, won't you save me?
O, Mother please, we're bleeding out
Just send the sun to face me
And tell me that I'm needed now
O, Mother, won't you pull me down?
I'll raise a voice
I'll pay the debt
Don't let the silence take me yet
