Viscera - Hammers and Nails

Текст песни

And with a changing tide
A moment to reflect
A broken crown bearing down
Upon a weary head
Look in his eyes, you’ll see
A lifetime of regret
The signs of stress
The emptiness
The lack of self-respect
With a treacherous kiss
Decimate what’s left of a lifetime’s legacy
As a silent poison works its way toward the heart
With the deepest malice
Pull the trigger on the gun that’s known to never fail
Roles are clear and chosen
To be a hammer or a nail
Know what you are
Let the drowning man swim
This is a war that he will never win
But when the dust clears
There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with
But now he’s slowly sinking
Oh, now he’s slowly sinking
Like an anchor to the depths
The drowning man
With desire to protect
A tired man broken down
Now full of fear and dread
And in his eyes he’ll be
A shadow of himself
A broken tusk
A hollow husk
Crying out for death
With a treacherous kiss
Decimate what’s left of a lifetime’s legacy
As a silent poison works its way toward the heart
With the deepest malice
Pull the trigger on the gun that’s known to never fail
Roles are clear and chosen
To be a hammer or a nail
Know what you are
Know what you are
Let the drowning man swim
This is a war that he will never win
But when the dust clears
There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with
(But now he’s slowly sinking
Oh, now he’s slowly sinking)
Now let the drowning man swim
(Like an anchor to the depths)
This is a war that he will never win
(But now he’s slowly sinking
Oh, now he’s slowly sinking
Like an anchor to the depths)
But when the dust clears
There’ll be nothing left for you to fuck with
Know what you are
But now he’s slowly sinking
Oh, now he’s slowly sinking
Like an anchor to the depths
The drowning man
