Phinehas - Well If The Earths Are Stopped, Then The Fox Faces The Hounds lyrics

rate me

I shake the dust from off myself<br />

And set my face like flint.<br />

Scorch the thorns entangling me<br />

And pull me closer into you, <br />

Because this city's full of devils<br />

And the streets clad with coal.<br />

I remember every waking day<br />

As I chewed on your soul.<br />

<br />

On and on, <br />

A recollection of our failure<br />

On and on, <br />

Forget the past, we're moving onward.<br />

Tell my devils I'm never coming back<br />

<br />

I can see that your motives are not pure, and I feel ashamed.<br />

I can see that your motives are not pure, they're not yours! <br />

<br />

THROW THE STONES, THEY WEIGH HEAVY IN YOUR HANDS! <br />

THROW THE STONES, THEY WEIGH HEAVY IN YOUR HANDS! <br />

<br />

On and on, <br />

A recollection of our failure.<br />

On and on, <br />

All the people crushed on the threshing floor.<br />

<br />

I can see that your motives are not pure, and I feel ashamed.<br />

<br />

This body, a burning building, <br />

It's nothing but flesh and bone.<br />

This body, a burning building, <br />

Turn and run or face the hounds.<br />

FACE THE HOUNDS! <br />

<br />

Tell my devils I'm never coming back.
