[Intro]
[Verse 1]
To see the world through an empty shotglass
Shake order on the rocks of chaos
Liberty as the ripest fruit
That if not eaten shall rot and bruise
See a saint succumb to sin
Bow down, return again
To find rage in passion and fear in love
Poverty in wealth above
[Chorus]
Give me life and all sweet pain
The knives of truth, the hope in rain
Savage beauty and the fiery plains
Show me dawns never tamed
To think we d live on bread alone
Betting on angels to carry us home
I ll take some flesh and bone
[Verse 2]
Heard a priest condone the bombings
But heard a cop condemn the shootings
Good flirts with bad and the scholars go mad
Twas the strangest meal I ve ever had
And you long for a steady journey
Stable country, simple morning
But the evening of a ruthless knife
Brought the sweetest sunrise of your life
[Chorus]
Give me life and all sweet pain
The knives of truth, the hope in rain
Savage beauty and the fiery plains
Show me dawns never tamed
To think we d live on bread alone
A fearing devils, fire and stone
A fearing flesh and bone
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Give me life and all sweet pain
The knives of truth, the hope in rain
Savage beauty and the fiery plains
Show me dawns never tamed
To think we d live on bread alone
A cursing devils, fire and stone
A cursing flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
[Outro]
Away away
Away with purity
Away away
Away with purity
Away away!
