lyrics
The Devil will run
Ah he will run
Far from town and burn your bridges down
In afterglow his thieves will ride
Machines made of flames, death on their manes
No one will survive
Black sands you curse the night, bleach the day
Burn our lands and make our heroes slaves
With scorching eyes you make our skin peel
There’s never been a figure like you
In the shadow of our fields
Three nights in the drones have found their way
Made Eden beneath our heroes graves
Oil seeps from the machines veins
We’ve never been this far in, and we never will again
Holy, you pillage and plunder and fry
Holy creature, you turn our seas into black wine
Oh Lord, you
You’re a force fearless and new
Wretched machine
Plague before you swallow
And tear our mountains down
There’s fire deep within the Earth
And it is rising
Severe the engine runs dry
You drill and you will find
The nothing we’ve been hiding
Stand Down
Elemental Extinguishes
Shapes anemic and chrome light the sky
They will double-back, bring these mountains down to crumbled ground and firesides
There’s no faith here… or so you think
Your machine is made by the hands that made this impossible
With every ounce of certainty, you have bled it dry
Trying to bleed us dry, and when it slows, and it will slow,
We will finish it, bury it
This is just the way it should be.
Ah he will run
Far from town and burn your bridges down
In afterglow his thieves will ride
Machines made of flames, death on their manes
No one will survive
Black sands you curse the night, bleach the day
Burn our lands and make our heroes slaves
With scorching eyes you make our skin peel
There’s never been a figure like you
In the shadow of our fields
Three nights in the drones have found their way
Made Eden beneath our heroes graves
Oil seeps from the machines veins
We’ve never been this far in, and we never will again
Holy, you pillage and plunder and fry
Holy creature, you turn our seas into black wine
Oh Lord, you
You’re a force fearless and new
Wretched machine
Plague before you swallow
And tear our mountains down
There’s fire deep within the Earth
And it is rising
Severe the engine runs dry
You drill and you will find
The nothing we’ve been hiding
Stand Down
Elemental Extinguishes
Shapes anemic and chrome light the sky
They will double-back, bring these mountains down to crumbled ground and firesides
There’s no faith here… or so you think
Your machine is made by the hands that made this impossible
With every ounce of certainty, you have bled it dry
Trying to bleed us dry, and when it slows, and it will slow,
We will finish it, bury it
This is just the way it should be.
