Red Fang - Whales And Leeches lyrics



Tracks



01. Doen

Winter is your doom
Sunset comes too soon
In lands of midday black
Undead hordes attack

Bells of death toll
Chaos unfolds
Humans bled dry
No one survives

Winter is your doom
Sunset comes too soon
Endless feasts of blood
Where there is no sun

Bells of death toll
Chaos unfolds
Humans bled dry
No one survives

02. Blood Like Cream

I refuse to sleep
I will not eat
I'm drowning in my bed

Bind her hands to mine
And make her blind
She's lost the rest of time

Babe, frothing at the teat
Carry him to me
His blood like cream

Stars that fade away
Their light will dissipate
And carve another name

[Chorus x2:]
Cut it up
Cut it up
Cut it up
Just before I take it

Paint your lips with blood
And clean your eyes
You've stripped away the skin

Babe, frothing at the teat
Carry him to me
His blood like cream

[Chorus x2]

Cancer of thinking
Thinking
You've left behind
All that
You're wasting
Wasting away

[Chorus x2]

03. No Hope

My nervous system
Wrapped so tight
Bones so brittle
I bleed inside
Face is burning
Hands so cold
Now your excuses
Are getting mighty old

[Chorus:]
No hope no, no going home x4

The creep is crawling
Deep below
He likes me better
When I lose control
Burning bridges
Digging holes
His words are poison
They're all I know

[Chorus]

You're not so pretty
Your heart's so cold
Your jokes aren't funny
Your souls been sold
You're not so smart
There's a crack in your smile
Your shit won't fly
You're a useless pile

[Chorus 2x]

04. Crows In Swine

Wasted angel
Broken halo
Wings of emerald
Empty bottles

Lost for time
Soaked in brine
Nickeled and dimed
Crows and swine

Burned out all doubt
Take back your skin
You've been broken
No light to fail

Lost for time
Soaked in brine
Nickeled and dimed
Crows in swine

05. Voices Of The Dead

It feels so strange
To be erased
Why was I
All that remained

Look what we've made
A shit parade
Buried in it
Can hardly breathe

Eyes so weak and skin so grey
Dying voices sing to me
Eyes so weak and skin so grey
Dying voices sing to me

Mountains fall and oceans rise
Build the world and watch it die

No gods to praise
No flags to raise
Kids in the sky
Won't make the grade

It feels so strange
To be erased
There is nothing
Nothing to save

Eyes so weak and skin so grey
Dying voices sing to me

Mountains fall and oceans rise
Build the world and watch it die

06. Behind The Light

We've come so far away from home
The days and nights are all the same
It's so insane to be alone
With all the time I gave away

You walk behind the light
You walk behind it
You won't defend the lie
You'll never make it...

With hardly any hope to grow
You've got a contract with a hole
Carry that weight until the end
You've got no fight to win

These times you would erase
These times of sorrow
You want it to be safe
You want it to be...

Now you've come to see
What you're wanting
What you need from me
You want me dying...

07. Dawn Rising

Staring searching
A shell of a shadow
Tried so hard to be right
Becoming so wrong
Until nothing was left
And nothing was right

I still hear
The clash of weapons
Disguised as words
So easy to begin
So hard to end
So easy to begin
And so hard to end

Dawn
Dawn rising
Sun shine burning
Feels like defeat

An empty zero
Living flatline
It felt like misery
The truth that set me free
The world a mirror
Bloodied and broken

Screaming riot
Screaming riot riot
Until nothing was left
And nothing felt right
'til nothing was left
And nothing felt right

Dawn
Dawn rising
Sun shine burning
Feels like defeat

An empty zero
Who lives in flatline
It felt like misery
The truth that set me free
The world a mirror
Broken, bloodied and cracked

Screaming riot
Screaming riot
Screaming riot

08. Failure

Don't fail me, don't fail me now [2x]

You take the lies I give to you
You take them all to make them true
Now the soil has turned face down
What is that sound? There ain't nothing around

Don't fail me, don't fail me now [2x]

Backing down in my darkest place
The chains on the ground are the lines in my face
Scratch on the wall is a ghost of you
You make them all and make them true

You don't know me, but you will

It's something else I'm feeling
There's something wrong
It's something else that we found out

You don't know me, but you will

A seething mass has gone to ground
To let it sleep I kill my town
Bar the door. Sink away
It's alive. It's too late

You don't know me, but you will

09. 1516

Scan the seas
Deep below
Drought of life where we
Plot our course

There's no way out
God will not answer
There's no way out
Damn all who enter

Dusty deep
Grey reefs swarm
Water's warm, but our
Bodies freeze

Bathed in rust
Losing sleep
Now to leap into
Burning fire

There's no way out
God will not answer
There's no way out
Damn all who enter

AFIRE!
AFIRE!
AFIRE!
AFIRE!

10. This Animal

The captain's weary
She's lost in wine
The ship is listing
With a broken spine
Home system calling
No husband now
The galley's holding
The end of us all

[Chorus:]
It's in us all [3x]
It's in us all, this animal, it's in us all
It's in us all [3x]
It's in us all, this animal, it's in us all

All hands gone missing
Blood banks are dry
Dead vessel screaming
An empty hull
Adrift in silence
Breathe breath no air
All comms are hissing
In space so cold

[Chorus]

11. Every Little Twist

Wanting eyes, they were burning green
Trying to see what cannot be seen
Where no wind blows
Where no grass grows
Hold a thought for the ones we leave behind

Crawl away on an empty plain
Fallow earth that will cover me
Where no wind blows
Where no grass grows
Every little twist is what it seems

She's awake but she's not alive
Final daughter of another time
Where the grass grows
Where the wind blows
Crying out with a voice that is not mine
