lyrics

I'm like a donkey who’s broken his nose
You know that I'm always falling down holes
And when darkness takes me, I'll lock me inside
I sit all alone with my collection of skulls

Here up on this mountain I can see the decline
And the crumbling of the scenery as I'm clapping in time
With the slow handclaps of the most unimpressed
But I've digressed, regressed I'm always depressed
While the acrid sluice juice roars and then it pours
Through the world's weary worrisome degraded laws
Locked in a box behind bolted doors
It’s a red raw lockjaw longed for yeehaw

I'm twitching like the Sellotape rebels
Thrashing at a thousand bloody decibels
As bells ring out over these wastes we share
But it's crushing this pain, let’s try not to care
Make the sludge stop flowing
Hot heads stop growing
Return to apathy
Whatever's good for me
Setting fire to trees, this end I see
Is hell-like, hell-like, hell-like, HELL-LIKE

I’m like a donkey
Who’s broken his nose
You know that I’m always
Falling down holes
The buildings are burning
The smoke clogs the sky
I’m falling through cracked walls now
The soot smears out my eyes

Drifting through the city
Looking up at flames
The golden army’s marching, marching
Dishing out pain
As the rain streaks the mud
Mingles it with our blood
And the soldiers raise the maces
Smashing our bloodied faces
In the sludge, in the sludge
As we trudge, as we trudge
Through the nightmare end of days
Through this horrific place
On my face my disgrace
At my self absorbed ways
I want it gone, this hell storm
But I know that it stays
Twisted shapes of demons
From the cracks that are steaming
Sweeping towns to the ground
With a boom boom boom
Once great towers falling
The dust blooms up grey
The rivers molten fire now
The veins iz the blaze
So let's bray it to the stars
Thank the lights for our powers
So let's bray it to the stars
For the wounds and our scars
Hot ashes make my kings raw
Listen to the beasts raw
Red raw locked jaw longed for yeehaw

I’m like a donkey
Who’s broken his nose
You know that I’m always
Falling down holes
And when darkness takes me
I’ll lock me inside
I’ll sit all alone with my collection of skulls
