Matchbook

Instant before impact

Spread beyond borders built to restrain intrepid bones

(Killers, Preachers, dressed and displayed)

Different, same so it seems

Pile the new dead on the backs of old debts, deliver me

(Staring, biting, breaking the bend)

Throw down frivolous stones

Carry on sculpting charicatures called broken homes

(Terror, fairer, brighter than blood)

Feasting, drinking it in

Hoard to yourselves all the virtue that's left, our Father's sins

(Hanged man, shamed man, where to begin)

Blue skies and Enquirer ecstasies, sack cloth and the ash of despair

War eyes show your mongering leprosy, black ties and the end of affairs

Blood lines every bit the conquistador, drill through 'til the fountain is bled

Matchbook at the scene of the incident, closed cover caught the sleeper dead

Reaching short of the stars

Call to the dark, cry the freezing beyond please find me home

(Naked, shaken, haunting the halls)

Flailing, wallowing fears

Bred in the womb into final awareness, sold the moon

(Swap meat, twisted, hell of a name)
