Lyrics
"fight on, my men, sir andrew says, a little ime hurt, but yet not slaine; ile but lye down and bleede awhile, and then ile rise and fight again" -Ballad of Sir Andrew Barton
look, there's no survival here
I've been trying to tell you
this is just the lag time, waiting for the other shoe to drop
when do we draw the line
if not when the river's dry?
I'd like to burn off the hat and mustache
of the clown who runs the show
the illusionist and the whisperer,
presiding over cardboard cityscapes
the storm is just a sheet of tin
the grain is eggshelss
this is not music
it's doomy fanfare
it's just bloodless
escape artist
well I'm not one
rubicon drawn
if not when the rivers dry if not when the oceans die
