Lyrics
The Frontlines
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.
And I watched
through bitter eyes
As the blood filled
in the cracks, black
A burning effigy
Told me I should
kneel 'cause
I'm worshipping
With terror, a disease
Bum the sacred oil
Chorus:
They told us
there'd never come a day
They told us that
we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
I am the power siege
And the rush you
will feel, thrill
Exploding out of me
Through clenched
teeth I will scream out
We're suffering
With malice you deceive
Puke sold as salvation
They told us
there'd never come a day
They told us that
we need not worry
So we fucked around, thought
this shit would change
And turned our eyes away
Lead: Logan
And I watched it slip away
And you watched it slip away
And we watched it slip away
