lyrics
That’s how the silence ends
With a bang, not a whimper
I thrive in discontent
Come alive in the wintertime
It’s cold in the trenches
Wish I could linger, but
Can’t stay on the benches
Sit out this life of mine
Can’t talk to terrorists
Some fears can’t be dismissed
Some thoughts can’t coexist
So sound the alarm
Prepare for war
March seven times
Around these walls
This is your therapy, crisis is clarity
Let your defenses freeze, crumble to the ground
Play back your movie reels of faded memories
You’ll never be at peace unless you sound the alarm
We’ll come together here
Make love to all our fears
Fist fight Gods and ideals
With backs against the wall,
And we’ll be drinking it
Until we sink in it
Singing out our symphonies
Outlive the curtain call
Can’t talk to terrorists
Some fears can’t be dismissed
Some thoughts can’t coexist
So sound the alarm
Prepare for war
March seven times
Around these walls
This is your therapy, crisis is clarity
Let your defenses freeze, crumble to the ground
Play back your movie reels of faded memories
You’ll never be at peace unless you sound the alarm
With a bang, not a whimper
I thrive in discontent
Come alive in the wintertime
It’s cold in the trenches
Wish I could linger, but
Can’t stay on the benches
Sit out this life of mine
Can’t talk to terrorists
Some fears can’t be dismissed
Some thoughts can’t coexist
So sound the alarm
Prepare for war
March seven times
Around these walls
This is your therapy, crisis is clarity
Let your defenses freeze, crumble to the ground
Play back your movie reels of faded memories
You’ll never be at peace unless you sound the alarm
We’ll come together here
Make love to all our fears
Fist fight Gods and ideals
With backs against the wall,
And we’ll be drinking it
Until we sink in it
Singing out our symphonies
Outlive the curtain call
Can’t talk to terrorists
Some fears can’t be dismissed
Some thoughts can’t coexist
So sound the alarm
Prepare for war
March seven times
Around these walls
This is your therapy, crisis is clarity
Let your defenses freeze, crumble to the ground
Play back your movie reels of faded memories
You’ll never be at peace unless you sound the alarm
