Songtext von Count The Dead

Blank stares that kill faces i know we watch the soldiers count the dead is this all we are savage in our grace with muted hearts and victory lace we watch the soldiers count the dead rainwater come and wash this ash alive our hearts are heavy now rainwater please and wash this blood away as we find out what we are out in the world as a city burns we sleep to dream a lion and a lamb in the great machine snow crashes down to rest on cedar limbs lambs curl beneath chesire grins and we preach sanctity a broken promise and a one way street the blackest irony as we count the dead and we watch the soldiers kill again rainwater come and wash this ash alive our hearts are heavy now rainwater please and wash this blood away as we find out what we are out in the world as a city burns we sleep to dream a lion and a lamb in the great machine mother mercy let it out faith and love scream save our ship come save us now you've got your questions haven't you they're all you've got we've got our hopes and our half truths so we sleep it off counting it down we're counting it down again rivers run red counting it down we're counting it down again rush to the end we watch the soldiers count the dead
