I See Fire (Agamemnon)
05:12

You said there’d be a wedding
I didn’t even get a funeral
I made a home in our bedding
But you were never full
She was silent when it was done
Mouth full of silky things
The kind that I spun
You loved how she used to sing
In the silence
I see the fires
After ten years there’s a break of day
In the silence
I see the fires
And I’ve got something to say
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone's gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone's gotta pay
And there’s no better fit than you
I don’t care what you thought it’d do
Spilled bad blood only strengthens roots oh
This is the bed I made for you
There’s no such thing as blameless truth
Follow the trail of pillage and find the proof oh
This is the web I made for you
When the ships drew near
Rolled away from the man I was screwing
I called out your name so all could hear
Rolled out the purple carpet for the true king
Doesn’t dried blood look so similar?
Or have you never seen a rolling skull?
What would a better man do if he were the victor?
Can’t you pretend, puff your chest up full?
But you were always hungry, hungry
Just like your daddy
Always hungry, hungry
Just like your daddy sweetie
Hungry, angry,
Just like your daddy
Who needs everything
More than a king?
I see fire
I see fire
I see fire
I see fire
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
Someone’s gotta pay
And there’s no better fit than you
I don’t care what you thought it’d do
Spilled bad blood only strengthens roots oh
This is the bed I made for you
There’s no such thing as blameless truth
Follow the trail of pillage and find the proof oh
This is the web I made for you
Hell hath three furies, and they’re women scorned
Every god screams out that you’re woman born
But I’m no man who’s after you
Pour three out when your body’s found
Dedicate the last to the Zeus of the underground oh
This the web you made for you
Cassie is out there screaming
But she’ll never be believed
Cassie is out there screaming
Isn’t it like a woman to grieve oh
Cassie is out there screaming
But she’ll never be believed
Isn’t it like a woman
Like a woman
Like a woman
Like a woman
You’ve never liked a woman
Cared for a woman
Blood spilling
Fabric killing
We’ll wash you clean of all your sins
If you’ll just let me pull you in
Ensnared in all the lies you spin
You had it all but I still win
I see fire
I see fire
I see fire
I see fire

All Will Be Well (Medea)
03:08
|
|||
The nurse says all will be well
If we stay away from mom for a spell
She says that dad really cares
But what he’s doing is just not fair
We ask if mom will be okay, together
She turns away and says, "soon, better than ever"
Ai, ai, ai
I hear nothing but lies
And people trying
To not hear die die die
Ai, ai, ai,
Screams of mom’s surprise
And sad smiles that spell demise
But they say all will be well
They say all will be well
They say all will be well
They say all will be well
But they can’t tell
Mom says it’ll be okay
Dad’s letting us stay
But mom will have to pack her things
She sheds a tear for all she’ll be missing
Go to dad, she asks
And hands us robes so tightly wrapped
We ask, will you be alright?
She gives a sinister smile, looking at heaven all the while
And says, "better than ever"
Ai, ai, ai
I see it in front of my eyes
The foam from the mouth of dad’s new wife
Ai, ai, ai
Screams of mom’s delight
She tells us both to come inside
Because now all will be well
Now all will be well
Now all will be well
Now all will be well
How can she tell...
...Me what’s happening?
Oh gods please help me
Are we truly lost in this?
Knives drawing her gift to us
Puddles of her flesh and blood
She lays down a final kiss
And says, "this hurts me more than you"
"But no pain will be greater than his"
Ai, ai, ai
Ai, ai, ai
I see it with my own eyes
Mother riding away in pure light

Stubborn Man (Antigone)
04:49
|
|||
I love my dad more than anyone
It’s a shame he can’t see what he’s done
Dad I don’t doubt your judgment, based on what you know
But citizens who aren’t your yes men cry, fearing the girl will go
Does that not trouble you so?
Can I ask
You put it in the past
Cause I’m hanging on by threadbare cloth
To my future of peace that lasts
I guess I can’t
You’ve drawn a permanent plan
No good son’s grace can ever erase
The statements of a stubborn man
He sent me away just like anyone
I may be young, but I’m still his goddamn son
I don’t understand how such a good man can put people through hell
Well if he wants Justice, he’ll have to lock me up as well
Does it not trouble him so?
Will he really just let me go?
Can I ask
We put it in the past
Cause I’m hanging on by threadbare cloth
To a future peace that lasts
I know I can’t
It’s such a permanent plan
No good son’s grace can ever erase
The statements of a stubborn man
There she is
A hanging symbol of
What it means
When someone takes and takes and never gives
What’ll you do now?
Will you hoist her up like a flag, neck swaying for a crowd?
Watch as the color drains out
Get high off the low blows you’ve passed around
What’ll I do, dad?
What’ll I do, dad?
What’ll I do with you?
I’ll slit your throat, blade a sharpened noose
You broke her spirit so I’ll break you in two
I’ll make you feel more than metaphorical attack
Cause you can’t bring her back
It won’t bring her back
It won’t bring her back
It won’t bring me back
It won’t bring me back
It won’t bring me what I lack
I’m done
Tell them all
I loved my dad more than anyone
