Swallow Lyrics by Madhops

A New Brand of Hurt

2000

And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"

As your complacence goes
(Torn back in submission you crawl)
I stand before God, crying out
(You can't console me)
In ignorance we fall
(You could see, but you're too fucking blind)
In time our morals compromise
(You covet life)

And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"

Will revolution come?
(When it does, I'll be at the front lines)
I'm alive, but I know not if my
(Know not if my spirit has died)
The children swoon and bleed
(You could see if you open your eyes)
You destroy, but inner peace you...
(You covet life)
(You cover life)

So bleed as you crawl
So bleed in submission
You'll bleed when you see you can't buy me

And we can call the names of lesser gods
And we can sing the same simple song
And we can cry in vein the name of Christ, in foresight
With foresight now
And we call the Savior's name
When we see that we're too blind
And we cry to God in vein
As we fall, as we fall slowly

We fall slowly, yeah
We fall slowly, now

I see you bleed as you crawl
I see you bleed as you cry
I see you bleed as you crawl
I can see it
I can see it

So bleed as you crawl
So bleed in submission
You'll bleed when you see you can't buy me

So bleed as you crawl
So bleed in submission
You'll bleed when you see we fall slowly

And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
And I stand, fully hostile and cry
"God, why must I still be?"
