Golem

A slow burn Down to the last dead letter Sulphur To cover up the smell of the blood in the water Absolve me Could kick out the flame, but we both know better than To follow a road to its end Just give me that feeling again, sing A slow burn A bite to the bone, a shudder Lay down And die in the mud like a good little soldier Absolve me Could kick out the flame, but we both know better, you'll Follow that rope to its end to give me that feeling again Now sing Wreck A slow turn Blind to the verdant mother Lay down Refusing to believe it's over Absolve me It's a kick in the teeth, I'm not that better man And I'm on my knees at the end to beg for that feeling again (Sling hope, hope around your neck) Oh, when you fell out of the world, you Saw that it still turned Only mercy for the dead, sling Hope around your neck You're not done yet You don't learn Still striving to understand Stay down The tongue bites the blood for a taste of the backhand We're home-free But fixing the fight leaves us all no better than The hammer that's striking the nerve We're getting just what we deserve Now sing Wreck Now sing, wreck Take wrong and ruin intertwined And pour your nothing into mine Where do I put the violence? He's gone and I still carry it Golem For all the peace you'll never find For all your little suicides You turn and face the bayonets It's time, get up and finish it Golem (Follow that rope to its end) (To give me that feeling again) Oh, when you fell out of the world, with No hope to return Did you think we would forget? Sling Hope around your neck You're not done yet Oh, mother, won't you save me? Oh, mother, please, we're bleeding out Just send the sun to face me And tell me that I'm needed now Oh, mother, won't you pull me down? I'll raise a voice, I'll pay the debt Don't let the silence take me yet (Take me)
