Million Dead - Relentless lyrics
[Million Dead - Relentless lyrics]
The footnote swallows the page
Today New York kind of looks like Beirut
But Beirut never looked like New York
Yet New York kind of cuts to
The quick as it quickens
The dispossessed define the dying age
We were so wrapped up
In the internecine strife of the last of the
So-called European centuries my compadres
That we didn't see it coming
So the footnote works it's way up
From the bottom of the page
Filled with a certain understandable
Sense of rage at justice unforthcoming
I have seen two feet standing
Proud in the sand
Cathedrals worn away by the rain
New dawns bringing season's change
Relentless
Today New York kind of looks like Beirut
But Beirut never looked like New York
Yet New York kind of cuts to
The quick as it quickens
The dispossessed define the dying age
We were so wrapped up
In the internecine strife of the last of the
So-called European centuries my compadres
That we didn't see it coming
So the footnote works it's way up
From the bottom of the page
Filled with a certain understandable
Sense of rage at justice unforthcoming
I have seen two feet standing
Proud in the sand
Cathedrals worn away by the rain
New dawns bringing season's change
Relentless
