I See Fire (Agamemnon) 05:12
lyrics
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
lyrics

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
lyrics

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
