THE END by The War Bonnets Lyrics
Back time and time and space
The elite have held their place
And summoned all their wealth
Attaching strings to every limb
But within this biased game
There is revolt amongst the tame
Only the oppressed will fight to win
Checkmate
Suffocation
Slavery on the run
The satellites are lit
The meteor has hit
A comet streaks across the sky
And in my mind
I can't decide
Whether it's an omen or a warning
If I'm dreaming or it's storming
And whatever sorts of surprises these makers have up their sleeves
Are you diseased?
Or just infected?
I am what darkness has long protected
Celestial recording
A message hidden in the morning sun
We've all become slaves to the work never finished
Now change it
Suffocation
Slavery on the run
Warn the alibi
They're coming for you now
So go
Don't look behind
Now that we're here
Simple has overgrown
The water's not clear
Don't drink until you're home
We'll make it out alive somehow
From this tainted paradise
They're all hallucinations now
Dilate your eyes
Running from a holy house
Blemish in the flesh
We're breaking out
We're covered in lust and want to get the fuck out
Running from a holy house
Suffocation
Slavery on the run
Warn the alibi
They're coming for you now
So go
Don't look behind
You're a danger to their laws
You're a threat to their minds
Only when the seeker discovers its flaws can it retreat from the undercover majesty
And so now I am telling you
Lift up your blindfolds
Open your eyes
Look for yourself at the world they've built around you
Be the work of light and dark
That will bring their reign to an end
The elite have held their place
And summoned all their wealth
Attaching strings to every limb
But within this biased game
There is revolt amongst the tame
Only the oppressed will fight to win
Checkmate
Suffocation
Slavery on the run
The satellites are lit
The meteor has hit
A comet streaks across the sky
And in my mind
I can't decide
Whether it's an omen or a warning
If I'm dreaming or it's storming
And whatever sorts of surprises these makers have up their sleeves
Are you diseased?
Or just infected?
I am what darkness has long protected
Celestial recording
A message hidden in the morning sun
We've all become slaves to the work never finished
Now change it
Suffocation
Slavery on the run
Warn the alibi
They're coming for you now
So go
Don't look behind
Now that we're here
Simple has overgrown
The water's not clear
Don't drink until you're home
We'll make it out alive somehow
From this tainted paradise
They're all hallucinations now
Dilate your eyes
Running from a holy house
Blemish in the flesh
We're breaking out
We're covered in lust and want to get the fuck out
Running from a holy house
