Modern Life Is War - Revival Fires

Текст песни

This land has been scorched
Unrecognizable black
Return to nothing after golden harvests of past
This land was choked with resentment and lingering remnants
This land was begging for breath and pleading to be peeled back
And with this piece of earth and with our lives inescapably intertwined
To start from scratch is all we ask now that the ruin has been wreaked
The song we sing while we work must be written while we work
Today, Tonight’s meal must be killed
Tomorrow must be earned
Will forgiveness be granted?
A scandal for every sinner in this enchanted town
With a growing gnawing fear of winter and memories that won’t leave us alone
This land was choked with resentment and lingering remnants
This land was begging for breath and pleading to be peeled back
And with this piece of earth and with our lives inescapably intertwined
To start from scratch is all we ask now that the ruin has been wreaked
And the trial is upon you
Time is the only true victor
Crucible
Let this day the blood of immigrant furthest from the home
Trickle out and spill into the hole
Problems follow so we face
Stand on the singed shore
Let the waves wash over you
Today is burning
Tomorrow is ripe
