BOY SETS FIRE LYRICS

"Nostalgic For Guillotines"

Breathe.
Breathe in the burning air… then sigh.
Be relieved there’s nothing there
We were free long before your free advice
Now the flags, they will burn in paradise

Rest your head here
Feed our nation for us please
And retreat to the back of our lines for your needs

As the blade is raised thoughts get clearer now
What if dreams that you had came crashing down
Would you change or erase the memory
Of the day, oh the day you made us bleed?

Rest your head here
Feed our nation for us please
And retreat to the back of our lines for your needs
We sew the seeds upon your grave,
So you know you’ll feed us either way

[Spoken quote from Jacob's Ladder movie:]
"If you're frightened of dying,
and then you're holding on,
you'll see devils tearing your life away.
But if you've made your peace,
then the devils are really angels,
freeing you from the Earth."

Wash away your sins and begin again
Resurrection from empty hands
Back against the wall watch your tower fall
To the ground with your head
Time to move on.
Your power is gone.
It's your turn to run.
Your hour has come.
…Let the blade fall…

We’ll feed our nation as we please,
As you grieve our children will dance in the streets
We’ve sewn the seeds about your grave
So you know you’ll feed us either way

And the meek shall inherit the earth
