No Help for the Mighty Ones

Heads on spikes, symbols on skulls / Give me a reason to go on The winter sky is full of ash / Broken homes, endless trash But in the darkness he holds his son He's all that's left, the only one In the hills, the people hide / Join together, rot inside In the land, the only hope / Is to die young, to not get old But in the darkness he holds his son / He's all that's left, the only one In the darkness he holds his son / There is no God, there is no love Stripped to the marrow / Their empty platitudes can't Clothe them, feed them, heal them They shuck them off like a thin, useless skin That they've outgrown when hunger calls How long must my journey go? / And my sorrow no one know?

Don't tread the path of the enlightened / Don't swallow their sugared seeds of poison Their Da'ath leads to that black moonrise / Where the bodies stack up to the rafters We touch the planets yet we're no closer to heavens / We gaze at the stars from our pig trough We map the silver depths of the ocean / While we bathe in the blood of the hated Spare me from your kingdom Born without a coin in my mouth / I still crawl toward the sun Hands in the cracks of the walls of your mind / I dismantle your thoughts Eating grapes in dens of steel / Buffing that old carnage wheel Sitting safe on marble thrones / Perched atop levees of bones

I Mountains swallow you I separated myself from the earth / I separated myself from the sky I separated myself from the crowd / Then I separated myself into two selves O Lord Then I turned myself against myself I waged a war within myself I turned myself against myself I waged a war against myself There's no help for the mighty ones now

Subgenus lace / A chain-linked fate The bees fly North / They can feel the hangman coming Millions of machines / Never before seen Unstitched, unraveling / Laid to rest in a dying world Oh sister/brother, we're all burning high / I see white dust against the sky This genocide rivals Dachau / In its endless march of victims They say the meek / Shall inherit the earth But all I see are the helpless / Crushed by the wheel of man They look away They hide their face Black market backwash You see, in this world, money kills We're in the shadow of a dying world

Walk just behind me / In my shadow Walk just behind me / Never stray The sun is setting / Mountains on fire We're so alone here / Don't go far Sing a lullaby, sleep now It's just a dream, sleep now This can't be real, sleep now The starlight marks The path of the fearful The ice caves glitter In the dark They're coming fast now Blood on the snow He holds her hand Shuts her lifeless eyes It's just a dream, sleep now This can't be real, sleep now The cold invites, sleep now Open wide the gates / Horas sound from the bay Open wide the gates / Don't look back in vain You are like a swan / Trapped in ice Beautiful, strong / And now I'm alone This can't be real, sleep now The cold invites, sleep now I've found my peace, sleep now

Oh, my Sally's done gone / And it's all my fault Oh, my Sally's done gone / I never listened to a word she said The purple hills / Seem to call out her name Like the whippoorwill / I didn't listen to the warning she gave I know there's no turning back She tried to share / All her worries with me But I was bowed down with care / I didn't see the trap I was in One look in her eyes / Full of knowledge and pain Oh, my pack of lies / Melted fast as my alibis I know there's no turning back And one day I'll be like a bird in flight / Floating over this valley so wide And one day I'll be like a bird in flight / Floating over this desert so wide

Well met, well met, my own true love Well met, well met, cried she I've just returned from the salt, salt sea And it's all for the love of thee I could have married a King's daughter there She would have married me But I have forsaken my King's daughter there And it's all for the love of thee Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there I'm sure you're the one to blame For I am married to a house carpenter And I'm sure he's a fine young man Forsake, forsake your house carpenter And come away with me I'll take you where the green grass grows On the shores of sunny Italy So up she picked her babies three And gave them kisses one, two , three Saying, "Take good care of your daddy while I'm gone And keep him good company" Well, they were sailin' about two weeks I'm sure it was not three When the younger of the girls, she came on deck Sayin' she wants company "Well, are you weepin' for your house and home? Or are you weepin' for your babies three?" "Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter I'm weepin' for my babies three" What are those hills yonder, my love They look as white as snow Those are the hills of heaven, my love That you and I'll never know What are those hills yonder, my love They look as dark as night Those are the hills of hellfire, my love Where you and I will unite Twice around went the gallant ship I'm sure it was not three When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak And drifted to the bottom of the sea

No one ever sees the puppet strings / No one ever sees the dark country I know you're coming for me now / I feel you coming for me now No one ever feels / The heavy weight of lies revealed No one ever feels / The burning towns, the burning fields I know you're coming for me now / I feel you coming for me now I see that black horse coming now / I know you're coming for me now
