Lyrics Subverse - This Or The Apocalypse

Subverse

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
