PREMONITIONS OF WAR LYRICS

1. Gloried Dirt

We arrived only yesterday. We thought ourselves the most important in all creation. But we were just an accident among many more. Glorified dirt. Rational yet ignorant. Moral, but only to ourselves. Lock our minds away in our history that includes only yesterday. It was just an accident.

2. The Foolish Fooling The Fool

You say I'm scared, maybe you're right. But I'm not scared of you. Just whisper your tiniest little secrets to me. And I'll tell you nothing but lies. Staying silent, appearing knowing. Don't be fooled. The foolish game repeats itself without a pause. A perfect articulation. I'm not sorry you were fooled.

3. Running A Marathon Without Legs

Seeing life through frames on a wall. Tell me again my life is simple. Run a lifetime in my shoes. Then tell me again that my life is easy. I can see what you don't want to see. Not turning a leaf, but shedding a skin.

4. Iliad (Hater's End)

A lush, a liar an imbecile playing god. All afraid to open the window. That the truth my fly in. you continue to eat shit off a silver platter. As they open their mouths that the lies may fly out. But the rock in your hand is heavy yet easily hurled. And its name is the end.

5. A Time For Iron

Raise my burnt offerings on asbestos hands. Trying to save the world, but settling for myself. Nailed my eyes to the knowledge tree. I will find the death I desire and deserve. Had I known I was as good as dead. I would have never mourned my loss of life.

6. Not A Word

Nothing you can say to save myself. Nothing you can do that hasn't been done. Don't say anything. For once. Not a word. Swallow contradictions. Walk away and do nothing. Let me live and die. We'll see who's right.
