instruments and lyrics by Aidan Will

lyrics: 

i wanted to believe 
There was something there
Some morsel of a truth
Whispered too long ago

I cant remember 
I wanted to believe 

In the truth we told
Some skeleton of kindness
Some good guy with a gun
Dont worry we'll protect you
Under these wings of lead

We manufactured divinity 
A Frankensteins monster
with gold in his eye
In the hurricane of blood
We found the wells run dry

Framed fathers in our schools
With other peoples teeth in their mouths 
They say money ruins everything 
So why is that what they shaped around it

Burn it all down to the ground 
See what God will restore 
Weve come to far to turn back now
Turn it up we might live forever 

We always called this silence
our permission 
Surely ours is the will of God 
What the hell else would it be

How much longer will it hold
This imperium of spines 
How much pressure can it take
The pillars holding you upright
How much more blood will you spill
Before your breath runs out
How much can you write off
As what you thought was right
How much time do we have 
Before the ground shakes out
