lyrics

Brown boys ain't the only ones that bang
Gang relations the ones with the oldest names
They all look to me like slavery chains
Shame like blood on white robes they always stain

Cus the dirtiest people with the sharpest tongues
been praying for me far too long

Goddamn I'll take em all

A wordless promise
or tightly pressed lips
Goddamn let me kiss
like a revelation
a passing secret
"A link between ribs"
Six sixty six
Gasoline crucifix
Jesus knows life expels its secrets
We’re all fucking worn down
We will spark now


As a kid
Momma found
White power bills on the lawn
Grew up round the ones
wore flags that were not their own
So spit in my eyes
Break every bone in my hands
I promise the blood that's shed
Will bloom from the mud again

Goddamn I'll take em all

I've only known honest thieves
Bolt cutters swiftest feet
Kindest hearts harshest speech
Jungle church tigers preach
Choir bares its crooked teeth
Congregation finds its peace
When they die

I want it like a "Goddamn" in a sermon
and nobody bats their eyes
Want it like robes crashing mighty and slow off the backs of the klu klux klan

Goddamn I'll take em all

In the valley of our hearts heaven seems
So distant

I just wanna close my eyes believing that in the space of the unseen
God's sitting patient in-between the folds of time fixing up a miracle
Spotless and vast
So come dance by the funeral pyre
The shadows cannot touch what's in the light
But in this moment
In the darkness of today
I hear the bombs dropping
Cold and heavy now
Mushroom clouds made of quiet, impossible chaos
Thudding like the heavy palms of Satan on the walls of our minds
And in the valley of our hearts heaven seems
So distant
