Gematria (The Killing Name)
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.
That was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames meningitis
I will survive this
Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis
The time of the nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one
This is so typical
Apocalyptical
Hanging on abysmal release Jesus
I don't need this
Don't wanna be this
Icon in the making
My hands are fucking shaking
What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?
Remember, surrender, the time is now
Continue,we're in you
And we will burn your cities down
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
Down
We will burn your cities down
Feed the hungry
Feed them shit
Feed them bones and politics
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life
Remember, surrender, the time is now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down
America
What if "God" doesn't care?
