lyrics

To a man we will die where we stand and the end is at hand
When they came for our titles and our blades we made a final stand
Cause the good old days are good as dead
Carried off by smokestacks and train tracks
And all that’s left is too retire
Raise your swords, embrace the wire

Two by two, bodies broken and bruised we stumble through the camp and out the gate
These bridges built upon our backs will never last, no they’ll never take the weight
We’ve got one last chance at being free
Let’s saw through the bolts and stuff these termites in the beams
And when they hold your feet up to the fire
Go on boys, embrace the wire

I won’t wait for the cruel hands of time
This choice, too
It will be mine

Lightning flash, I tap my fingers on the dash to the sound of the radio and the rain
In my rearview mirror are the needles and the fear, and a life that could never be the same
It’s been so long since I felt alive
I’ll go up to the quarry cause I always loved a drive
And in a flash of steel and screaming tires
I go off to embrace the wire
