Lyrics

This is a provident peace
And now here is my answered call
All of you gnashing your teeth
Underneath a descending wall
It’s in the air you breathe
And I’m sealing the door
No matter alarms that ring
You won’t catch me off guard
Taught to give, not receive
But I always protect my own
A slip and you fall off the beam
If you’d looked then you could have known
It’s on the hands that reach
And I’m bracing the door
No matter alarms that ring
You won’t catch me off guard
Panicking the cattle, glimpse of the blade
There is no reason to suffer
Harness undone, the net giving way
The stricken, the worker, the gutter
Rung in the grip, in the hand of the state
Juice the demand, it’s just a matter of time
Til you’re deserted here just like the others
Those dogs in the road with the fear in their eyes
It’s in the rot in the street
And the heat of your glowing home
I pity your faith, your belief
In the hands that are not your own
Only enough for me
Stay away from the door
No matter the word you preach
You won’t catch me off guard
Clawing at the sand, under a wave
Current too great to recover
Quiet cataclysm well underway
The givers, offended corrupters
Coughing and pale in the struggle to beg
For the fruit that you could never have picked from the vine
You better turn around and follow the others
The dogs in the road with the fear in their eyes
Whimper from over the ocean
Lash of the earth, a germ weaponized
I have readied in myself for the culling
I am among the strong that survives
A witness, exsanguination
Hand caught in machine, look me in the eye
I’m the one who rebuilds
I will find new way
Quiet cataclysm well underway
Two steps ahead of the others
The bridge from the city fell into the bay
The wanting were first to go under
I know it has come for me
And it’s shaking the door
No matter alarms that ring
You won’t catch me off guard
