Steve Kilbey - Consider Yourself Conquered lyrics

rate me

Attracted by the metals in your teeth and in your earth

We faint in amazement

Along congested reefs our leviathans are berthed

In a jagged arrangement

Consider yourself conquered, consider yourself conquered

Of that gray and mournful day when you set foot on the shore

I have dreamed in a fever

I dream about the engines and the noise outside my door

And the grim receiver

Consider yourself conquered, consider yourself conquered

Attracted by the scent of the hunt on the wind

We arrive in profusion

We fight amongst ourselves and prepare for the night

In a drunken confusion

Consider yourself conquered, consider yourself conquered

Consider yourself conquered, consider yourself conquered

Now listen, I don't need no documents or deeds

When I see your defenses

Our war god doesn't care where he spills his seed

Or loses his senses
