Premonition of Total War
50:32

I sailed through the darkest storm
Now I’m home
I need to see your face once more
You can choose to believe
You can attempt to persuade or deceive
I have memories of what made me bleed
I wear these scars for you to see
For your belief
Put your head down beside me
Keep up the pace
Don’t look forward
Don’t look behind
Your green eyes
I’ve never read such poetry
You are beyond words
They’ve given up
And thrown away their possessions
He lies choking on the ground
You are so emotional
Belief and steam won’t save you
Good evening to you
We’ll leave you to decay
With all of the new friends you have made
Such a delightful new life
With so much promise
I’m leaving
I’m leaving now
Where is your spinal cord?
Look! It is lashing around on the ground
It is so titillating
I have control now
What would you like me to do?
They’re coming back
Watch the death of all your heroes
Today is the day that I begin again
I am so emotional
He fought for each revolution
He never had a home
Today marks the day that we begin again
It was the perfect night
Depending on your definitions
You are my ideal type
We share primitive illusions
Sophisticated private mind
Complexity of imagination, reality and spirituality
That will arise
Understand yourself
Strong and weak
This is their best shot
She was working on an epic poem
That had tragic consequences
Clarity of composition
Seamless transitions
She can’t look outside
She doesn’t even want to go outside
He was working on an epic sculpture
It had weight and texture
It was tangible
Today is the day that we begin again
It is the mourning custom of a new love begun
A predictive phase
Of each new fad and craze
Your mind doesn’t exist
This mind isn’t equipped
I find it hard to resist
Expulsion from paradise
After dying and then being brought back to life moments later he awoke with memories of the afterlife that he did not want to talk about. He had sworn in the other realm he would not share the secrets he had found there.
They eventually found a way to make him talk.

They’re dropping the bombs on the innocent and strong
C G E Asus2
Living out a life of surprises
C G Asus2
But I won’t leave you there
C G Asus2
How could I watch your demise?
C G E E7 Asus2
What will you leave behind?
Asus2 C G Asus2
They’ve overfilled their lungs with false hope, with right and wrong
C G E Asus2
Exploring night and day for new arrivals
C G Asus2
But who am I to care
C G Asus2
If you stand to comply
C G E E7 Asus2
What will you leave behind?
Asus2 G G Asus2
It was the perfect night
G G Asus2 G G E E7
Depending on your definitions
Asus2 G G Asus2
You are my ideal type
G G Asus2 G G E E7
Asus2 C G Asus2
They’re dropping the bombs on the innocent and strong
C G E Asus2
Living out their days in denial
C G Asus2
We’ll have to leave you there
C G Asus2
At which point will you compromise?
C G E E7 Asus2
What will you leave behind?
They no longer need to expand their space
We do not want to be where you are
You are safe.
