lyrics

Two horses strain, one from the other
Pulling two overlapping worlds asunder
Chains pulled taught, Quivering in the thunder
The coming days make their ways into the yonder
And the past makes no sound and will never turn around
As though it knows it is forevermore betrayed
And though it may be wrong, if ever it was strong
Its strength is in the service of its hate, from now on
Its strength is in the service of its hate

And now the present’s has fled, away as the gull flies
flees the apocalyptic stalling of the sunrise
And you and I’re stood, wide eyes to Jesus
Two worlds tearing asunder beneath us
And many hands do clap over mouths as the trap
pulls tighter and the overlap is shrinking
And they say we must choose; on which world of the two
Shall we fall? Or else be lost between them sinking? What to do?
Where to fall? Or else be lost between them sinking?

Loves, I shit ye not,the aeon is turning
One age pulls away from another in revulsion
Under our watch, the tribes are a-forming
Around whichever world they all will fight for in the morning.
And though we laugh it off with many a meme upon our screens
Elsewhere the bombs and screams are a-ringing
And though we play the fool, this weary country and its queen
The earth has not forgot the blood of women, boys and girls
The earth shall not forget the blood of these
