Gun Metal Trees Lyrics by The Sailing

The Floating Continent

2008

[Verse 1]
I’d watch my back if I ran through the streets
Alliances trade rumors sweeping like fleets
Through alleys like strays and slime
Like runaways and crime
These laws have been passed today, haven’t you heard?
I’ll slash you like rainforests if you say a word
Just who do you work for?
And tell me, are there any more?
Well I can cut you down and I can burn you up
Just fall in with the rest
Or where will you call home tomorrow?
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
Don’t wanna return to autumn’s dead leaves
I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
I’ll put up the shields and watch them set fire to the banks
[Verse 2]
The time has arrived for the cleansing of sins
We’re wearing the armor from shoulders to shins
If you take us under, we will tear you asunder
Oh we will shut you down and we will burn you up
Just give us all a rest
Or where will you call home tomorrow?
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
Don’t wanna return to autumn’s dead leaves
I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
I’ll put up the shields and watch them set fire to the banks
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Yeah, I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
Don’t wanna return to autumn’s dead leaves
I don’t wanna live with gun metal trees
I’ll put up the shields and watch them set fire to the banks
