1. Flying Machine (The Second Flame)
FLYING MACHINE (The Second Flame)
Space-junk streaks across the sky.
I'll paint the town blood-red tonight.
I'm just a bag of rusty nails,
Inside this neon gut.
The City is a Motherless child.
The City is a hungry machine.
The City is a dutiful girl,
But she will not remember me.
Passing through,
Passing time,
Passing on...
History.
Corridors that scrape the sky
Will decompose but never die.
Carved in stone and locked in grids
Of testament and pride.
The City is a Motherless child.
The City is a hungry machine.
The City is a dutiful girl,
But she will not remember me.
[Repeat chorus x 2]
She wants to be the second flame.
She wants the night to scream her name.
She wants to set her streets ablaze.
She wants to burn the filth away...
Never pure.
The City is a Motherless child.
The City is a hungry machine.
The City is a dutiful girl,
But she will not remember me.
[Repeat chorus x 2]
2. Bat Ladder
BAT LADDER
My knife is sharper than yours.
Slate howling like tortured banshee.
I strike a murderous pose,
And contemplate my mortality.
I speak in riddles and tongues.
The crowd recoils, pissing with fear.
But, like the words of most great men,
My blood falls upon deaf ears.
DIY.
DIY.
Everything must wither and die...
DIY.
The Earth is turning in time
With the heart of the Grim Reaper.
It is the tomb of the universe -
The grave gets deeper and deeper.
My knife is sharper than yours.
Slate howling like tortured banshee.
I strike a murderous pose...
Death.
[Repeat chorus x 2]
Suicidal...independent...universal...unrepentant.
Suicidal - sleep descends seductively.
Independent - only I know what to be.
Universal - everyone will follow soon.
Unrepentant - chasing doom.
3. To The Water
