lyrics

Do you ever feel existential
How would you know
What if the hill you claim should fall to those you taunt
They never needed you
Never needed you
Never needed you you anyway
Never needed you

Your ghosts will light the flame to your effigy

Will the gallows fit the waist
Let them adore
The field
The fury
Inches from your sole
They never needed you
Never needed you
Never needed you you anyway
Never needed you

Your ghosts will light the flame to your effigy
Beg to their souls
As purgatory fashions chains forevermore

For when they’re taught
The hills you once laid claim
As languid brawn
Fall just to kings and queens in ecstasy

Jet black, in awe they stare
At the blood
Once red as their loving mothers hair

You take
You take
You take
You take
You take
A burning effigy your fate
