"Dawn Of Revelation" lyrics
"Dawn Of Revelation"
We who gather by this fire
To remember who we were
To recall the days of yore
To recall the days before
Hear the crackling, stoke the flames
Conjure long-forgotten names
Look long enough and see
Where the referent wriggles free
I will turn these stones to bread
And all who hunger will be fed
Plates will shift and the earth will groan
And no one here is going to die alone
Live in hope, walk in fear
Let them come, let them gather here
Meaning well, boding ill
Let their hundreds crest the hill
As you were, so they are
Orphans from a dying star
Let them cluster, each to each
Like smooth rocks on a distant beach
Look upon them there and know
We will all go when we go
Look into these eyes and see
How we all will be made free
Beyond the grasp of the grave
Free as driftwood on the waves
Through their fingers like a fish
Free from the clutches of the flesh
I will bring this word to them
Last to first and stern to stem
The king's gonna sit upon the throne
And no one here is gonna die alone
Yeah

For a final escalation, I have been praying
To the God of giving up

And then go do them
Name ten places you really want to be before you die

Harley Poe - "I Wanna Die" I don't know what I'm doin'
I don't know what I've done
I don't know what I'm thinkin'
But I wanna have fun
I wanna get fucked up 'til the hurt goes away
But I always feel like shit when I wake up...
