Permanent Campaign

Borne of the same home and plate
We have come to the end
Of our once warm embrace
I’ll cut you up

Painted for war, the poison’s running its’ course
We’ve got a strong arm and it’s grasping for throats
The lions are eating while the dove is a ghost
We’ve been drinking up all of the wine
Before hanging the host

All this hate will crush us in our wave
We can’t stand against our tide
It’s amazing what we can create
When leaving all our love behind
We’ll be together washing away

We’ll never give in because there’s always more to win
The death horse is marching and it’s wearing our face
Pistol shots at the opera start the debate
The choir is screaming for a blood red toast
Raised to all of the future martyrs lining the coast

All this hate will crush us in our wave
We can’t stand against our tide
It’s amazing what we can create
When leaving all our love behind
We’ll be together washing away

Side by side here on the shore
There will always be more
We can’t stand against our tide
It’s amazing what we can create
When leaving all our love behind
We’ll be together washing away
