"September Song" lyrics

A celebration to swell the system
Mass casualties, earth's war of attrition
A slate-colored moment in an amber time
Nothing to do but move the needle down the line
Move it down the line

Ride the plague winds back to where we were before
Moving through the night, illuminate the killing floor

Divided here together, to sing a deadly song
Divided here together, to sing a deadly song
September

A confrontation over existence
Past tragedies creating resistance
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more
Where poison is the balm and endless dead ignored
The dead ignored

The lights upon the blacktop, raise a toast of arsenic
Fill the coffers, roll the dice, amusements for the sick

Divided here together, to sing a deadly song
Divided here together, to sing a deadly song
September
We sing a deadly song
Divided here together, we sing a deadly song
September

We're broken in half, mindset split
Stitched together, this game of Russian Roulette
One in the chamber, head full of doubt
More food for the crows who ride it out
We'll ride it out

Divided here together
Breathing here together
Divided here together
Bleeding here together
September
