I AM A REVENANT
Another year has passed and im alright
I lick the salt from my wounds from morning to the night
Its unknown why collusion goes on
It rapes like betrayal
And Im rotting in the squalor of some
Do you remember the rage?
I remember the hate
I remember that it rained for years
And the blood had left a stain
You say i got karma to collect
I dig my grave and
Im here waiting for some kind of check
If i get one ill hold my breath
I racked my spine
It takes a year of you to warrant a test
As the years go by I wont cry
Its the year you walked into my life
I will despise
We are the revenants
And we will rise up from the dead
We become the living
We come back to reclaim our stolen breath (repeat 5 times)
We are the revenants
And we will rise up from the dead
We become the living
We come back to reclaim our stolen..
Another year has passed and im alright
I lick the salt from morning to the night
run into the night
run into the night
run into the night
RED CARPET AND REBELLION
red carpet and rebellion
makes ya wonder at the established ones
they aint out to get ya
cause your a mile .. away
i heard a siren, a city warning , they said a new
dawn arrives in the morning .. so i wait out tonight
for the, the new sunrise
they laid me to rest with an, an aberration
i woke up the living dead colossally mistaken
i ran through the streets where i, i break down
there aint no money there aint no time
yeah im outta my mind dont wanna waste this away
shamed when i am; shamed when i'm not
the configuration of the american dream
the palace died and the streets were burning
the red horizon came crashing through the morning
there was no contentment only blood shed
red blood and social discontent bruised by puritan
oh puritan exempt its like a peasant uprising
chorus
st petersburg, 1905
father garpan led the protest .. up inside .. up inside.. stewards break down
yeah, we are gone, oh yeah, we are gone, we are gone, we are gone, oh yeah,
red carpet
and rebellion
makes ya wonder why they smell so bad
they aint out to get ya cause your a mile away
