Mouth of Swords Lyrics by The Safety Fire

Mouth of Swords

2013

[Verse 1]
We're bored and bankrupt
With a lust for tragedy
Headlines read the palm
Of our destroyer
[Pre-Chorus]
Flags dead at the top of their poles
The lights didn't come back on
[Chorus]
They prayed for the horsemen
That never came
Revelation of silence
Go back to sleep
I'll wake you
[Verse 2]
They all looked for him
Twisted hands to the sky
Their minds dead to life
Our own destroyer
[Pre-Chorus]
Flags dead at the top of their poles
The lights didn't come back on
[Chorus]
They prayed for the horsemen
That never came
Revelation of silence
Go back to sleep
I'll wake you
[Bridge]
Two naked bodies in a twisted embrace
Hand over fist they stare at each other
'Til they blinked no more
[Chorus 2]
We burned all we could
Nothing left to save
The wasteland
A daydream
We burned all we could
Nothing left to save
The wasteland
A daydream
We burned all we could
Nothing left to save
The wasteland
[Bridge 2]
Your hand the last warmth in the ash
The last specters of love
As we fall, fall, fall
[Verse 3]
We're bored and bankrupt
With a lust for tragedy
Headlines read the palm
Of our destroyer
[Chorus]
They prayed for the horsemen
That never came
Revelation of silence
Go back to sleep
I'll wake you
They prayed for the horsemen
That never came
Revelation of silence
Go back to sleep
I'll wake you
