Destroyer Lyrics by Guards

Modern Hymns

2018

Well, I’d rather be poor than to take anymore
These are delicate things these are people with dreams
And you're pushing them down till they can’t make a sound
Yeah, we've seen it before

Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior
Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior, warrior, warrior

No, you can’t take my love away
No, it’s all mine it’s here to stay
And when I’m lonely feeling blue
I close my eyes fly back to you fly back to you fly back to you

Open it
That’s your vice for life, for life

Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior
Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior, warrior, warrior

I walked a mile for seven days
And on the 3rd i kneeled to pray
I had a wish, a dream a clue
I know that face i swear it’s you
UI swear it’s you i swear it’s you

Open it
That’s your vice for life, for life, for life

Well I’d rather be blind than to live off your dime
You keep pushing them down you’re just watching them drown
Until they draw their last breath until there ain't nothing left
Yeah we've seen it before

Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior
Here now meet your destroyer
Oh yeah, electric warrior, warrior, warrior

You’re the man on my back, I been sent to attack
You’re the snake in the tree, you’re the evil in me
These are criminal times, better get back in line
You’ll see it all comes back to you
It all comes back to you
It all comes back to you
It all comes back to you

Well, this was the last the time no we’re not doing fine
At the end of the day well there’s no other way
This is it at long last, won’t be stuck in the past
It’s the end of the line

Open it
That’s your vice for life, for life, for life, for life, for life
Open it
That’s your vice for life, for life, for life, for life, for life
