Board Up the House

The streets have gone dark, they've been dark for days We board up the housem hide upstairs and wait, and wait Just outside we hear awful sounds Cower in bed and think of ourselves only The last lights are all fire We let the heat thrive Panicked a week, starved just as long We're two signs of life, our doors are marked Desperate chants of "Help will come, help will come" Can't try to leave, help will come, finally The last lights are all fire Let the heat thrive Turn the seas sour Bleed the ground dry I won't wait, you'll give up with me No one comes and we rot in bed No one comes and the boards stay up

The future is gnashing its endless teeth As it lumbers towards our drunk king His god is reckless, his faith is bold He spits his rabid grace on a panicked court We're lost our place in time It breeds this maddening thought That we won't be stopped That this century bleeds like the last That the future folds in our hands Take we take we take each chance to run wild As time fades, we don't change, run straight into fire

Roots spread under the mud Drags the steel sprawl out towards the sea Pile these cold souls so tight they'll hardly breathe Flames will walk the earth Let them roam They don't need what can spend so easily Make this wretched mass work for their gloom Flames will walk the earth Flames will walk the earth And nothing will change And nothing will change Pack ourselves so tight, we can't breathe On their grief, cast our roots deep The grid extends its reach Things don't look good As we feel the ground wake Nothing will change, flames will walk the earth And nothing will change, nothing will change

My body is taken by the cells inside They'll consume me, hollow turn me dry I've got no way to fight this on my own Whatever ails me fades a stable soul Turn up the lights, sear it away Now it's unending; fills the body wide How long until this common life will fold? Turn up the lights, sear it away It's what you can't know I won't come back alive I come back alive Both eyes retire All bones are dark Down to dust

We take pride in our short sights, our past horrors Shout coarsely with a long stick, lest we seem sane We're strangers, pulling stolen reigns I'm not proud We're staging an ugly fable, our hands are awash with lies Most blame will fall on this useless mob Their bloodlust grows, our whips blow back, it grows They'll snap our necks All we are, all we'll be, so wrong

In the belly of these dreadful days What's there to believe I plead: "what can I do" Don't look ahead It's all desperate ends But I do, I do Love will haunt all life In time, the world's undone In time, one death will bind Right now each mess we're in Puts us in fate's harsh old hands In the shadow of those looming days What's there to believe I plead: "What will I do, what then?" You'll come to fear Each day, each night You'll come to fear Each day, each night

While these old plagues spread One more need runs low Don't stop, keep feast it Strip what's left of this toxic land Stuff yourself with anything you grasp Don't stop, feast harder still Our fates compounding, our veins run dry Our fates compounding, our veins run dry Don't stop this can't get much worse

I see no light ahead I choke on desperate breath We know the water rise Felt the ground subside I loved who I could As war clouded minds I did what was right We all came lose I see no light ahead And I feel your panic too I hear the battered soil sigh, sigh, sigh If we're broke It's the right time All will be forgotten All will be well
