Extremist Part 1- Canaries of a Secret World

from Extremist by Gothik Serpent

/

lyrics

You and I in our
stale weathered hole, sip the
supermarket Merlot,
The last of its kind

The tube is chanting cries of a
coming end to all, fear the
Judgement of us all
The neighbors are clearing out

But I'll stay for a while
for I died and saw the sign

There was a time when we broke the day and carried
sugar up the hill, canaries
of a dark, secret world, snatching
people and their screaming ilk, carried

Turn your face away, look at me, be happy
Take my hand and clear your mind, but really,
The threat outside approaches quickly
It may be time for us to hold the line

But I'll stay for a while
for I died and saw the sign

All my regrets
Never forget you
Fear my portent
Now I protect you
Can you select
ones who affect you
Always reject
Cannot respect you
All my regrets
Never forget you
Fear my portent
Now I perfect you

Speak to me
My TV
Sing to me
You sermonize hatred

Strike my face
Reveal your grace
To all's distaste
The fight is yours, take it

As the fires rain down
Over your head
Goodbye
All my cells prepare
For rebirth
I won't be the same

Speak to me
My TV
Sing to me
Your sermonized hatred

Strike my face
Reveal your grace
To all's distaste
The fight is yours, so take it

Out by the broken road
A gray death approaches slow
Out by the Panchaean way
Oblivion led astray

All my regrets
Never reflect you
Kiss me goodbye
I must go try and
Join with the fight
Try as I might the
journey begins
now we descend

It's futile
But I don't care
How wrong I was
There's no one to spare

I should have known
Love me

Don't telephone
but maybe

I see the light
Nuclear white

A dark land in an ocean of white
Was this the afterlife expected?
And there's a billion souls rejected
Floating in corrugated spaces

Before me you dissolved like Lot's wife
The memory preserved in ash piles
The four horsemen's work is not quite over
I'll fight this war someday, or another
Die again and fight
Die again and live
Die again, repeat
