Lyrics
As We Look On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hail the sinking boat
Surrender hope of vessels stout and guaranteed to float
The sea will sway
But rummaged rock is all that's left of home
Satiate with waves or hide and wait to explode
When gods of every faith can't fit into one sky
Stay, it's comfortable
Work against the state and you'll find pain
The miracle faded when you tried to climb out
Aim with your satellites
Stay safe while our race expires
Claim stake when you're obliged
Save face and fire in the night
We've cauterized wounds inflicted
By alienation of those beyond our sight
Denaturalized, the displaced provide asylum
For our careless privileged kind
Counting shells until sleep
Afraid to dream and believe that the initiative lost
Children know the difference between rockets
And sounds of the dud barrel bombs
Surrendered is pure adolescence
Childhoods are robbed
Pounded into the streets
Still holding out for relief that's proven to be far off
Slay the barbarous
With the will of God we'll kill them all
A meaningless death is not what we had sought out
Aim with your satellites
Stay safe while our race expires
Claim stake when you're obliged
Save face and fire in the night
As we look on
Helplessly veiled with shock
Life still goes on
Desensitized with suffocating denial
Hail the sinking boat
Surrender hope of vessels stout and guaranteed to float
The sea will sway
But rummaged rock is all that's left of home
Aim with your satellites
Stay safe while our race expires
Claim stake when you're obliged
Save face and fire in the night
As we look on
Helplessly veiled with shock
Life still goes on
Desensitized with suffocating denial
