Peacemaker by The Mechanisms Lyrics
[Verse 1: Gawain]
Oh, Peacemaker, where you gonna run to?
Oh, Peacemaker, are these your friends?
Oh, Peacemaker, what you gonna do now?
Is this your end?
Oh, Peacemaker, nowhere left to hide now
Oh, Peacemaker, you have failed
Oh, Peacemaker, draw your gun now
And end your tale
[Chorus: Mordred]
No path past hatred’s stain
I see that hope for unity made me a fool
Corpses leer round Gawain
Tell me dear brother is this how you’ll rule?
[Spoken Interlude: Jonny d'Ville]
And so Mordred fought, and saw in each slain Saxon the face of she who saved him. And as his cheeks grew warm with tears and blood, so too his heart grew cold.
[Verse 2: Mordred]
Oh Warmonger, is this what you wanted?
Oh Warmonger, is this all you know?
Oh Warmonger, is your world so empty?
Just friend or foe?
Oh, Warmonger, see ‘em flee before you
Oh, Warmonger, watch them fall
Oh, Warmonger, their flowing blood implores you:
Heed its call
[Chorus: Gawain]
Now at last free of fear
My vision blurs with crimson, but I finally see
Hold brutality near
And release the coiled violence that’s inside of me
[Spoken Interlude: Jonny d'Ville]
And so Gawain fought, and through it all heard the shrill keening of vicious laughter. And as his fear bled through his pistol’s mouth, he knew the laugh was his own.
[Chorus: Mordred & Gawain]
[overlapping]
There’s nothing left to say (The air is filled with screams)
We’re rotten to the core (Before I treated battle like it was a toy)
And I will make them pay (But not in my darkest dreams)
For making me believe there’s more (Could I have ever felt this savage joy)
[Outro: Mordred]
…where will you run to?
…where will you run to?
…where will you run to?
Oh, Peacemaker, where you gonna run to?
Oh, Peacemaker, are these your friends?
Oh, Peacemaker, what you gonna do now?
Is this your end?
Oh, Peacemaker, nowhere left to hide now
Oh, Peacemaker, you have failed
Oh, Peacemaker, draw your gun now
And end your tale
[Chorus: Mordred]
No path past hatred’s stain
I see that hope for unity made me a fool
Corpses leer round Gawain
Tell me dear brother is this how you’ll rule?
[Spoken Interlude: Jonny d'Ville]
And so Mordred fought, and saw in each slain Saxon the face of she who saved him. And as his cheeks grew warm with tears and blood, so too his heart grew cold.
