MOUTH OF THE ARCHITECT LYRICS

1. Lullaby

Our story will read…
The great darkness prevailed.
For we are doomed to taking love by force.
It tastes like stale sweat,
shatter hopes, and broken bones.
Time has done us in.
Enough is enough…
I can’t recall those tears we cried,
As we read that lullabye.
We will read this lullabye.
And sleep that long goodnight.

2. It Swarms

It swarms around me like wildfire.
It waits beyond meaning.
This hoard of hate and teeth.
You can’t see the hand that hold you.
Silent and still.
You’ll never find a way to escape yourself.
It swarms around me like wildfire.
Letting go of everything.
Our skin will fall away but the spark will remain.
A slave to it
And the world moves on.
Never to receive… Never to return
A slave to it all.
And the world moves on.

3. Sharpen Your Eyes

I can’t slip away…
Days full of fools killing fools.
Wash it away.
Let it all wash away.
Hold the front.
Our glory will be written in blood.
Our hearts wait for judgement.
Collapse every fucking system.
Tear down everything.
Sharpen your axes.

4. How Will This End

Don't waste your breath...
We know how this will end.
You can feel it moving against the wind.
Waiting for it to come crashing down on me.
Then we will lose ourselves in this.
Feeling the flesh back from our wounds.
Drowning in our own skin.
All that was buried within.
No hope for salvation.
What are you to me?
My fists are broken and bruised,
Trying to remove the poison from inside of me.
Bury my body deep into the ground,
Bury my strength with the love I leave behind.
You are not ready for what's coming.
Your voices are silent beneath the static.

5. Patterns

Staring at the shattered pieces of your body.
That lay across the floor.
The memory will haunt our souls until
we are withered and buried in this earth.
A pattern is revealed.
Truth be told…
Ive never loved anything but my own demise.
So we carve into the sky.
And set free the light.

6. The Other Son

As brothers we fought, held down against our will.
As fathers we fought, but learned nothing more.
As lovers… we lost our faith.
I tore down this wall around my heart,
We played with fire.
We risked it all.
But luck and love have gone to the other son.
Let it all fall down upon the other son.
Our bones we left in the soil.
As brother we lost…
As fathers we lost…
As lovers we lost… all hope.
