A Death Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

4 Songs

2010

[Verse 1]
Inevitability, you are my mother
Bleeding seeds of sour lust
Onto the mounds of bleeding crust
Unto all that holy dust
I shall return
Bathed in fire

[Pre-Chorus 1]
The world is ice
But I'm the spark
That can ignite your world
I can warm you
Or I can burn you down

[Chorus]
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down, I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew...

[Verse 2]
Impossibility, you are my father
Growing limbs of odd proportion
Singing psalms of all abortion
Speaking truths that are factual but dishonest
Because you cannot tell the difference, no

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The world is dark
But I'm the spark
That lights the path
I can save you
Or I can damn your soul

[Chorus]
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down, I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew I'd die in...
I always knew...

[Verse 3]
Impracticality, you are my brother
Raising flags to stay the army
Arming thugs who wish to harm me
Complying with Spring just to see Winter die
And take me with it

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Because the world is me
And I'm the dark
There is no life
There is no spark
You've murdered me
Everything I am
I am nothing now
You're just like them
The world is me
And I'm the dark
There is no life
There is no spark
You've murdered me
Everything I am
I am nothing now
You're just like them

[Bridge]
The birds are bleeding upside-down
Their feathers congeal to form my crown
And though I stand here, cruciform
I am no martyr, I will not be reborn
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment
And honestly, I'm glad of it
I can take it as a compliment

[Chorus]
They tied me to the chain link fence
And beat me down, I've no defense
I always knew I'd die in... (kill me now)
I always knew I'd die in the snow (do it slow)
I always knew I'd die in the snow (in the snow)
