lyrics

Burn that white flag, I’ve gone mad.
I wouldn’t fly that color to save my soul.
Was it the fact I was born bad, or the guidance that I had
that designed me to self destruct before I’m sold.

It’s down to the wire, the stakes get higher.
I walk through fire; I’ll never tire.

The key to the brave, is they think they’ll be saved
right up until the day that they’re dead and gone.
I guess I’m the same: I can’t fathom my fate,
so I believe my name is the chosen one,
and that’s my loaded gun.

My only weakness lies between me and my woman.
She’s the only thing worth bein’ weak for.
If you saw my love for her, you might think I was bluffin’
but that would only be because you never sought more.
Yes, I guess perhaps you really should have thought more
on the things that you let your soul be bought for.

And tell me why I should comply
with a system that sucks dreams dry.
Will it offer me security?
How much does it cost?
Not much: just my right to be free.

Well, I haven't listened to this album very much because I'm still figuring out how to use Bandcamp (currently it only plays one track at a time). But I have Widow's Bane other album--and really, who doesn't like pirate sea shanties/ drinking songs mixed with zombie polka. Funf***ingtastic!! I just hope the band will reunite soon and do a live show over the summer. Olivia Doll
