Lyrics
Heroes
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.
Amid the heat and the wrack
Hot boots invested and cracked
Poor candidates jacked into gray light
An ultra-violent call summoning both poet and thrall
Sweet catalyst for the acolytes
(Our) Our heroes and martyrs (heroes and martyrs)
Present two points of view (tell me)
(What's the sense of heroes and martyrs?)
Which deity you're praying to?
Into a welter of night
Flack, rounds and roiling blight
Cracked vertebrates stacked by the wayside
An ultra-violent call summoning both poet and thrall
The inveterate blind seeking daylight
(Our) Our heroes and martyrs (heroes and martyrs)
Present two points of view (tell me)
(What's the sense of heroes and martyrs?)
Which deity you're praying to?
