PREMONITIONS OF WAR LYRICS

1. The True Face Of Panic

What is this new madness? On it comes.
Panic, whose blood runs cold.
Fear not this raging madman, evil incarnate.
First on one side then the other.
I hate him worst of all.
As if I stand on some tall beacon, I see it draw near.
On it comes.
Abhorrence, whose blood boils in the vein.
You hate me worst of all.

2. Correspondences

I got your letter and I couldn't disagree more.
You're not reborn, you're regressed.
Your god is a stepping stone to self-rghteousness,
not an understanding of purpose.
You can keep him and your letters.

3. Best Day Ever

Say the things you feel the least,
feel the thing that hurts the most.
It's not the best of days,
it's not even a good day.
This time is thicker than mud. Don't touch it.
Don't say it. This time is quicker than blood.

4. Abomination

Who puts a halo on a human head?
Not I.
Who's afraid to ask?
What you think is god really hates you and still you grovel.
Did you speak to him?
Your weakened minds breed weakened spines.

5. Hanging Man

Be careful what you pretend to be.
You are what you pretend to be.
Our nation of two is no longer.
Only mother night.
A hanging man hears sweet music.
I wonder what it sounds like.

6. A Minor Correction

Align your head with loaded gun.
Yes, I'm your enemy. Gasp.
You will do it again, and you did.
Rejection washes like the sweetest wave.
Forgiveness is a knife in the stomach.
I'd rather feel my hands around your throat.

7. I'd Settle For Sleep

If I'd smoke crack on earth,
heaven would surely be a disappointment,
and hell is other people.
I hope neither exists. I'd settle for sleep.
