Lyrics I Come Prepared - Birdmask

I Come Prepared

I come prepared with my eyes shut tight
I come prepared with my knuckles white
I come prepared with a map of the hill where my enemies fell
I come prepared and you’ve been busy crying wolf
Listen to the scoundrel’s hail to the king
I come prepared with a cup of water filled to the brim
I come prepared when their gaping mouthes are ready for the pill
I come prepared when their bloodshot eyes are awaiting me
I come prepared with a tender hand and honesty
Don’t you go away
Here comes the scene the scene the figures in between
The people dancing hard in the snap trap’s gleam
The shore the sore the people at the door
The people braking backs for the diamonds in the ore
It’s wrong so wrong they’ve been living for too long
The language is forbidden but they keep on holding on
To the the scene the scene the figures in between
The people dancing hard in the snap trap’s gleam
Don’t you go away
You don’t have to go with them
I come prepared with the knowledge of the seven seas
I come prepared the letters that you haven’t sent
I come prepared with a map of the hill where my enemies fell
I come prepared and you’ve been busy crying wolf
Don’t you go away
You don’t have to go with them
Listen to the scoundrel’s hail to the king
