"Down On Our Knees" lyrics
"Down On Our Knees"
I hear them coming, day and night, I hear them drumming
They're drawing nearer, coming to take over
And we'll all go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
A new call to prayer in every town and every square
All blown to hell, death to the infidel
And we'll all go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
Death knells are tolling, seven seals are broken open
The end is nigh, blood streaked across the sky
And we'll all go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
Markets collapsing, damn your one begotten son
Bad imitators, Holy Joes, and space invaders
All go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
I took the way open to drowning men
Drawn by the currents, blown by the wind
Armed to the teeth, here come the holy men
Pandemic, famine, war, privation, mass migration
Four horsemen riding, knights of the apocalypse
We'll all go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
Hijabs are burning, Roe V. Wade keeps overturning
It's women's hour, storm the mighty halls of power
We'll all go down on our knees
Won't we all go down on our knees
Eventually
I took the way open to drowning men
Drawn by the currents, blown by the wind
Only nature rules with an iron hand
Throw your arms to heaven
Throw your arms 'round me
Throw your arms to heaven
Give, and you will receive
Throw your arms to heaven
Throw your arms 'round me
Throw your arms to heaven
Die for what we believe

For the next time that I sleep

Cause they're gonna wash away

Conor Oberst - "You Are Your Mother's Child" I remember the day you appeared on this earth
With eyes like the ocean, got blood on my shirt
From my camera angle it looked like it hurt
But your mama had a big old smile
We drove you home, saw...
Alexi Murdoch - "Orange Sky" Well I had a dream
I stood beneath an orange sky
Yes I had a dream
