End of Days

Take down through a hurricane
Never gonna be the same again
Bear down all through the pain
Starting little fires for the end of days
Gotta gotta gotta see me and mine
Out of the dark, to the warmth of light
Work the land to drink the wine
Forced to walk from a better time
Gotta gotta gotta keep me and mine
Together, alive, whether wrong or right
Work the land while sun still shines
It’ll never be safe at night
Get what you can while you can get it
Forced to forfeit what is right
Returned again to when it is known
Bad things will come out at night
Turn your back on the noon and start your fires
Take down through a hurricane
Never gonna be the same again
Bear down all through the pain..
Starting little fires for the end of days

Old Gods

Profane
The wind
At times I’ve understood this place
Profane
The wind
At times I’ve understood this place
From dust to kings you rise
Under the gaze of old gods
That you’d deny
Gather your fires before the sky turns dark
And want is nothing
Want is nothing
Stoke your fears, the world goes cold
The world can’t save the weak
You can’t feed the beast
All those years, and nothing at all
Nothing at all…
Animals
Animals
From dusk to dawn you’ll ride
Always away from the dark that you’d defy
Gather your fires for again, the Danes will raid
The Danes will raid
The Danes will ride
Stoke your fears, the world goes cold
The world goes cold
The world can’t save the weak
Mm
You can’t feed the beast
All those years, and nothing at all
Nothing at all…
Animals
Animals
Goddess sent, the old gods are friends
Lend the earth to Venus
And give it the spinners again
One by one, cities fall and stray
Lend the earth to Venus
Let the moon hold sway
Let the moon hold sway
Slaves, slaves once again
To fate the race of men
To fate the race of men

Leave the Body
03:23

Your hands
Are shaking so you do it quickly snap the neck and leave the body in the river and you're gone
Your hands
Are shaking so you do it quickly leave the body in the river with the blood and all the rot
Your hands
It’s dark, can you find a rope? Can you swim to land?
Can you get it off your hands?

Animals against the wind
We forget all that we’ve learned
The way forward is unclear
And the victory never earned
And it’s never enough until til it’s too much
No we never know
Give it a minute and the bad taste good
And smacks of what’s to come
And it’s never enough until it’s too much it’s
Never enough until it’s too much it’s…
There was a man
But I was on my own
So long ago…
It felt so real
That I can feel it now
Never feel like dying anymore
I don’t ever think about death
I think of time as it falls away and think of ways to make it
Travelling out west
Cos it’s never enough until its too much
Give it a minute
In a battle never won
Cos it’s never enough until its too much
Just give it a minute...
And it smacks of what’s to come
Animals against the tide
We all lose all that we’ve earned
The way forward is uphill
And the come down is absurd
And it’s never enough until it’s too much
Give it a minute
Let the diamond turn to pearl
Cos it’s never enough until it’s too much
Just give it a minute
And the history collapses and we forget all that we’ve learned

Hands Up Bang Bang

Hands up, bang bang
Cast aside
No rain
No rain
But pray and Athena will provide
Athena will provide
(Athena will provide)
Take your blessings
Keep your pace
The world you’re facing
Is not the one you’ve known, unchained
Not the one you’ve known, unchained
I don’t want to but you know I’ll do it, so—
(Take our pain)
So hands up, bang bang
I don’t want to but you know I’ll do it, so—
Pray for dreams
No rain
No sea
But pray to Athena and receive
Athena and receive
(Athena and receive)
Wisdom, knowledge
War and faith
Count your blessings
From a goddess of scroll and blade
Knowledge of pain and rage
Take our pain
So hands up bang bang
No rest for animals who wait in their hoards
To plunder and to pillage when they hunger or they’re bored
I don’t want to but you know I’ll do it, so—
No rest for the wicked who wait in their hoards
To plunder and to pillage when they hunger or they’re bored
I don’t want to but you know I’ll do it, so—
So hands up bang bang
I don’t want to but you know I’ll do it, so—
Hands up, bang bang
