Iron Sights
02:18
|
|||
The suns sets quick
on this side of town
short of breath and moving fast
don’t know your way around
Shadows drown under alley lights
feet grow heavy and cold
the downpour will not cease
should have looked over your shoulder
brass to concrete in a parking deck
crimson vapor from an open neck
silence stifles; the echoes subside
take a look at life through iron sights
the straight and narrow
keeps the conscience clean
but don’t think there’s peace
in a life lived lean
don’t think there’s any peace
in this beached hell of a life
get ahead or get even
take a look at life through iron sights

Beholden To None
02:28
|
|||
it only takes a second to change a life
how many loaded moments were ignored going by?
violence is king; violence is law
must a man give everything he has to his god?
chasing unreachable ends
seeing unforgivable acts
means that can’t be justified
all for the prayer of paradise
the wheels of war will not cease to turn
you and I will be left in the lurch
offer your hands and they’ll break your back
there’s no way to get ahead in their system
your integrity will crack
indoctrinated and beholden to them
stranglehold on the everyman
born to serve the ivory tower’s plan
no god in heaven, just lords of war
don’t volunteer shit; they always take more
just pass me by
you don’t got a dog in this fight
not gonna join
don’t tell me to follow
don’t draw that line
live and die beholden to none

Between The Teeth
00:53
|
|||
can’t see the grin for the steel between the teeth
looking out the window, but you miss what’s underneath
there’s something on the lattice you could never see coming
your eyes close on the moon but they won’t open to the sunlight
steel between, between the teeth
drift into dream
cede life unalert
guiltless in reprieve
wake never more

Peace Out Of Reach
02:46
|
|||
screams like fucking animals
fall on ears just as feral
centuries strong monuments
in only days laid to waste
the human toll
peace out of reach
the human toll
peace forever out of reach
to see the future, look to the past
one man’s freedom on another’s back
crusades of gold by knives of steel
blood spills from the wounds that never heal
the blood that’s shed falls from
the blade in my hand
