Letra de Through a War - Geordie Greep

(Feat. [])

Tonight we're gonna drink 'til the streets sound like music

And the music is just noise

Tonight we're gonna drink 'til I look like Hercules

Come on, gather 'round, boys

Come close, listen in

The year was 1862

We took up arms after the war was through

We knew that we could take what was left

The city was ours

We burned down their churches

We built an arcade

I was a natural leader, to whom the tribesmen bowed

I strolled around in the General's clothes and had the only gun

I fired warning shots and made the children dig

I tortured all insurgents; I ruled with an iron fist

But for you, my love, I offered only grace

At the very first sight of you, I lay myself prostrate

For your touch, I'd have conquered every village in the land

I would have disemboweled myself just to hold your hand

I saw you appear like a dream between trees

I knew I’d have to get you to live with me

Did you deceive? Maybe so

But still, I breathe for you alone

I put them into ranks; I made them build a castle for me

And a big statue in the square

I made them carve my name on every piece of gold

I made them carve yours everywhere

On every tree, on every train

On every drop of rain

What a feeling to hold in your grip

A beating heart, to squeeze it hard 'til it bursts

To feel its blood running down your wrist

To know you are a God

Have you ever seen a man beg for his life?

Have you ever seen that kind of fear?

Have you ever seen a man boiled alive?

Have you seen him writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe, and writhe?

Have you sat on a throne of men?

Have you watched father and son fight to the death?

Have you tasted human flesh?

Have you had sex with the dead?

Have you seen a brain split in two?

Do you know what courage looks like?

Have you seen a woman give birth to a goat?

That's what courage looks like

Do you know how to fashion a boat out of bones?

Do you know what betrayal is?

Do you know what disrespect is?

Do you know what ungratefulness is?

I'll tell you all about it

Oh, but you, my love, I could never blame

All the things they say are hearsay

You, my love, are faultless; you will never die

You, my love, remain the apple of my eye

You gave me nothing but an incurable disease

For which I'm so glad, you'll always be with me

With each itch of my loins, the music of your voice

With each tremor and shake, your unmistakable voice

You help me lapse into unreason

You help me disintegrate

With this whiskey, you are with me, hot in my throat

You are, once again, whole

I drink of your soul

Betrayal is to overthrow the man who gave you everything

Disrespect is to blow up the city he built

Ungrateful is the savage who knows not his luck

I forgive them nothing; damn them all to hell

And that’s how I spent my adolescence

Who's next?

I'm listening

Who's next?
