The Father, the Son, and the Harlot's Ghost

歌詞

Under this tree, far away from this church and state Is just you and me There's no need to watch our backs, we'll just simply be Kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed Words like a knife, cut my father's throat And he gets seething in spite Threaten my poor mother so she kneels every night To a prized god divided in the fight O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed So string up my girl Deviant and faithless and a bane to your world Mal-intent with ignorance, it's all so absurd Worthless and you're worth it all the same, same Starve in my cell Man is bound in shackles between heaven and hell Whether it's worth dying for is too soon to tell Bloody mouthed and screaming out her name, her name O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed [Incomprehensible] O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you, I bleed There was nothing left When you bred contempt in a shit town Turning your rats into killers So far gone O Holy Father, I bit my tongue But Your good word's Turning Your saints into sinners So far gone Oh, under this tree We grew roots and branches Kept a hold of our leaves They will turn through seasons And they'll fall to the feet Of the children that came after us O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed [Incomprehensible] O' sweet thing, bombs away and I'll say To you, I leave a pox upon this awful place And for you I bleed So under this tree, far away from church and state Is just you and me There's no need to watch our backs, we'll just simply be Kiss me, honey, sweetly with our eyes closed
