When Summoned Lyrics by DevilDriver

The Last Kind Words

2007

[Verse 1]
Bloodthirsty, born on the wind
Hell-bent, outside looking in
Voices that carry on nightly
Don't ask, just go in now blindly

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm bloodshot, thrown-away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of anger to be avoided

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Extended forgiveness and then got bit...
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point

[Chorus]
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!

[Verse 2]
Nothing's ever set in stone
Wade through, harvest seeds you've sown
It's all right, right as rain
And as far as I'm concerned, fuck the fame!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I'm bloodshot, thrown-away goods
Venomous, so fucking ruthless
A well of anger to be avoided

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Extended forgiveness and then got bit...
They call it the breaking point
When it comes to faith, this time you've quit
They call it the breaking point

[Chorus]
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!
Stand up against the gates and be counted
Counted
When summoned!

[Bridge]
Climbing... scratching... uphill
So breathless, lifeless, able still

[Outro]
Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, short life
Long live this short life of trouble
Long live, long live...
Long live, long live...
