lirik lagu burials - it's happening to us
oh, can you feel it?
sense that miasma in your lungs?
you know that stinking rot so well
it crawls out of every mouth
through every artery and vein
through every crevice deep
air thick in every street
like it soaked into the brick
intoxicating, nauseating
gagging reflex pinched
tongue fighting bile back down the throat
collapsing chest still heaving
hold back disgust in every other scene
the news is in, and what a surprise
it’s bad again
limbs hacked, gunshot, death toll
gang rape, collateral
we are base animals
the blessed sapient meat
you look to fiction for your tragedies
and i finally understand
only in pages, screens or lines
do you stomach revelation
best keep that distance
keep it arms length
lest the harm can reach us here
now say it with me
say it with me again
“it isn’t happening to us”
say it with me
say it again
“it isn’t happening to us”
now say it with me
say it with me again
“it isn’t happening to us”
the chosen apes fear not the jackboots of fate
but in time are all trampled beneath
stuff the coffers for a grave with a view
close your eyes
it is a callow, begging end
why can’t you see?
you are not what you believe
we are not picked to roam above or beyond anything
be humble, be brave
hold the blood in your veins
and just pray
just pray that you’re granted a grave
it’s more than we deserve
(it’s more than we deserve)
tattered kings of this gilded cage earth
it’s more than we deserve
say it with me
you’d best believe it
say it with me
say it again
it’s happening to us
say it with me
you’d best believe it
say it with me
say it again
it’s happening to us
