MR. PLOW LYRICS

1. Sigil

Retrace steps across the ages
The only way we know
Misplace our understanding as surely as we go

Just walk away
Now turn and stay
Now walk away again

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

Track the signal cross the eras
Past infinite divides
Time tendrils stretch behind us
A protean reprise

Just walk away
Now turn and stay
Now walk away again

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

I try to read the signs
Decipher what they mean
A sigil etched in time
Until I burn it clean

2. Samizdat

Rictus smile
Inutile
Automate
Felo de se

POV
QED
Nystagmus
Morbid bliss

Rictus smile
Inutile
Mother Doom
Welcome womb

Hey, I don’t want to know
Hey, just give me more
Hey, this is all I need
Hey, everything to me

3. Matchstick

Rumpled jeans and t-shirt
Lightning bolt across his chest
Unassuming in the extreme
Dismissed as but a jest

Incomplete but building
Like fear in dragon's eyes
Mortal weakness gone now
Fleeting as a gloaming sky

He's more than he shows
He's more than you will ever know
Ever know

He is the Pendragon
He'll see the darkness come undone
A glowing bat he swings
He brings a reckoning

Slay the bloody, bent one
Who feeds on the innocent
Fly into the gaping maw
The wretched belly rent

Evil forces gather
To lure, lull and bind
Wielder and the weapon one
Will consecrate his mind

He's more than he shows
He's more than you will ever know
Ever know

He is the Pendragon
He'll see the darkness come undone
A glowing bat he swings
He brings a reckoning

Servants to the struggle
A rift that will never mend
Privy to its secrets
Bonded always to its ends

Silence phantom hounds and vanquish all the guilty ghosts
Deeper in the devil's den
Blackened Oroboros

The cycle thus continues
And the conflict stokes the flame
Red corrupts the green
And then viridescent again

He's more than he shows
He's more than you will ever know
Ever know

He is the Pendragon
He'll see the darkness come undone
A glowing bat he swings
He brings a reckoning (reckoning)

He is the Pendragon (He is the Pendragon)
He'll see the darkness come undone (He'll see the darkness come undone)
A glowing bat he swings (A glowing bat he swings)
He brings a reckoning

He brings a reckoning

4. Shaolin Cowboy

Silent chainsaw meditation
Stillness in shotgun salvation

Demon horde, undead tsunami
Now a silent plain of headless zombies

Dealing death to what's already dead
Calms the tempest in his head

From the center of the Earth to the center of the void
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy

(Die and die and die again)

From the center of the Earth to the center of the void
(Die and die and die again)
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy
(Die and die and die again)

On a divine wind rides a cosmic envoy
(Die and die and die again)
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy

If you gotta die, then make sure you die last
There is no future
And no past

Contemplate a drop in the sea
Perfection, singularity

Channel all the words his master said
Into deserts bathed in red

From the center of the Earth to the center of the void
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy
(Die and die and die again)

From the center of the Earth to the center of the void
(Die and die and die again)
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy
(Die and die and die again)

On a divine wind rides a cosmic envoy
(Die and die and die again)
Come what may, come the Shaolin Cowboy

5. Johnny Gentle

You are the one to keep us clean
You formed The Great Concavity
Just us or them
No in between
Ensure that red is all we see

Come on Johnny Gentle save us
Come on Johnny Gentle save us
Now

Croon that lullaby so soothing
Croon that lullaby and show us
How
To lock the door and shut the whole world out

You strummed the empire's secret strings
You proved to rule is but to sing
The end game isn't hard to see
Just let the ends dictate the means

Come on Johnny Gentle save us
Come on Johnny Gentle save us
Now

Croon that lullaby so soothing
Croon that lullaby and show us
How
To lock the door and shut the whole world out

6. Maintain Radio Silence

He was not quite suitable to be a gentleman
He was not quite who you'd think of as a friend
But he's just who you would call to pay for violence
And now we can't call him off
We're in radio silence

No anger
Just cold within
His mission
The living end

No anger
Just cold within
His mission
The living

He was not quite suitable to be a gentleman
He was not quite who you'd think of as a friend
But he's just who you would call to pay for violence
And now we can't call him off
We're in radio silence

No anger
Just cold within
His mission
The living end

No anger
Just cold within
His mission
The living

He was not quite suitable to be a gentleman
He was not quite who you'd think of as a friend
But he's just who you would call to pay for violence
And now we can't call him off
We're in radio silence

7. Hammer Smashed Face

I've been full o' love at times
But then push comes to shove, and I let the droogs and bollocks bring me
down
They meddle in my blackest hour
Vulgarly display their power
Bring my brash thoughts crashing to the ground

The closest I'll get to a state of grace is a hammer-smashed face

Knuckle under, lift the smog
Throw the others to the dogs
Singing my brash praises far and wide

Milk the venom from the vein
Distilled, sucked down again
Liquid legend always will abide

The closest I'll get to a state of grace is a hammer-smashed face

My fellow man's an asshole
Begging me to follow wherever he goes
No thanks, gonna sit right here
Sinking my dark thoughts in some darker beer
Oh yeah

The closest I'll get to a state of grace is a hammer-smashed face

My fellow man's an asshole
Begging me to follow wherever he goes
No thanks, gonna sit right here
Sinking my dark thoughts in some darker beer

My fellow man's an asshole
Begging me to follow wherever he goes
No thanks, gonna sit right here
Sinking my dark thoughts in some darker beer
Oh yeah

With a hammer-smashed face
With a hammer-smashed face
(Oh)
With a hammer-smashed face

8. Memento

Excuse me sir, but could you perhaps spare the time
To shed your body and to reconstruct my mind
From all these memory shards, so pale and smoldering
I know they're mine, but still they mean nothing to me

Hey, this is just another day
And this too shall fade away
We are phantoms in the shade
And we too shall waste and wane

A ghostly image stalking the periphery
I turn to look but then there's nothing more to see
Of all these memory shards, so pale and smoldering
I know they're mine, but still they mean nothing to me

Hey, this is just another day
And this too shall fade away
We are phantoms in the shade
And we too shall waste and wane

Hey, this is just another day
And this too shall fade away
We are phantoms in the shade
And we too shall waste and wane
