"Marauders" lyrics
As soon as you're seen, they're kickin' dust
(Hey!)
No banner to wave, and no flag to trust
It's an empty man that commands his company!
In deep desolation, no currency works like blood on the pavement
And filled with elation
Are those who withhold their souls from saving
(Empty lungs demand your every waking breath)
The pain of damnation, means little to those already stuck in abasement
And high is the station, for anyone willing to take without lament
(Empty eyes demand your sacrificial death)
Dead stacks of better angels, eclipse the firmament
Their bodies stacked so goddamn high
You'd think they're heaven-sent!
They'll defeat you
Tear you into pieces for their young
Who will eat you
Savoring your blood upon their tongues
"Pleased to meet you."
First they seem like they're in such a struggle
But their confidence will conquer you...
(Ride, ride, ride)
For empty land on the horizon
(Ride, ride, ride)
'Til every bit of hope is gone
With or without you, they can plan for their survival
(Even though they approach deliverance daily)
They're about to make a meal of another rival
(Even though their approach was perfectly stately)
They got follow-through, and an emphasis on style
(Even though when they're done there's messes they're making)
Do what the others do, and keep away for miles
There's empty hands on the horizon
And every bit of hope is gone
(It's the empty man who commands your company!)
(Ride, ride, ride)
To empty land on the horizon
(It's the empty man that commands your company!)
(Ride, ride, ride)
And every bit of hope is gone
(It's the empty man that commands your company)
(Hey!)
No banner to wave, and no flag to trust
It's an empty man that commands his company!
In deep desolation, no currency works like blood on the pavement
And filled with elation
Are those who withhold their souls from saving
(Empty lungs demand your every waking breath)
The pain of damnation, means little to those already stuck in abasement
And high is the station, for anyone willing to take without lament
(Empty eyes demand your sacrificial death)
Dead stacks of better angels, eclipse the firmament
Their bodies stacked so goddamn high
You'd think they're heaven-sent!
They'll defeat you
Tear you into pieces for their young
Who will eat you
Savoring your blood upon their tongues
"Pleased to meet you."
First they seem like they're in such a struggle
But their confidence will conquer you...
(Ride, ride, ride)
For empty land on the horizon
(Ride, ride, ride)
'Til every bit of hope is gone
With or without you, they can plan for their survival
(Even though they approach deliverance daily)
They're about to make a meal of another rival
(Even though their approach was perfectly stately)
They got follow-through, and an emphasis on style
(Even though when they're done there's messes they're making)
Do what the others do, and keep away for miles
There's empty hands on the horizon
And every bit of hope is gone
(It's the empty man who commands your company!)
(Ride, ride, ride)
To empty land on the horizon
(It's the empty man that commands your company!)
(Ride, ride, ride)
And every bit of hope is gone
(It's the empty man that commands your company)
