Subverse - This Or The Apocalypse

Lest I die in the flood, you’ll never see me rest

Guilty masses of men, simply falling apart

Just stop and pick up your jaw

Been evading the shots that they make in the dark

Open up these graves so we can feed our homeland

I’m putting up the fight of my life —

Is it better just to lay arms and withdraw?

If there’s war in my blood, genocide in my veins

Cut me open and run

Doesn’t matter which nail that it’s under again

You can’t hide it

The dirt is always going to be there

I’m putting up the fight of my life —

Is it better just to lay arms and withdraw?

I’m pulling on the end of my chain —

How can these eyes burn clean?

Lest I die in the flood, you’ll never see me rest

Lest I die in the flood, you’ll never make it

Be still, child unwanted

Raise up the cities where gods cannot walk

I’m putting up the fight of my life

I see the bull fall, I see the pigs mass

I see them burn off the parasites, all in single order

I see the hurt wolf, covered in insects

Just pray our ghosts will learn to forget

I’m putting up the fight of my life

With the bird on my arm, the teeth still in my hand

I was raised in a house but I’ll end this a man

We all stand in the water

We all brace for the dust

It’s not enough
