lyrics

Over the barricades

Your naked arms
float to the loins
and over the barricades
that God built in protection for his boys.
but I gave up
gave up your ghost
I would rather be powerless
now that I have seen beyond this post

show me your teeth
use all of your charm
it don't seem like a threat cause I have
tasted all the pleasures in your harm
Bring out your guns
and all of your hate
it can do me no wrong no more
for I woke up in a dissolution state

I wanna touch like God
need to feel the thrust, take you apart
enough to make you choke
killing me softly with every stroke

Give me something
keep me from drifting
just a little something
even if it's vanishing
huffing and puffing
looking for a way back inside

Deactivate
all that is mine
there is nothing for you to take
I've given all that I've got left to give
and let me go
into the dawn
put the image of peacefulness
aside for we have no use for it
Now that we have no use for it
Now that I live only to regret

I remember when this was new. I feel like Mugison is the Tom Waits of Iceland. Fantastically unique, and compelling. Lute FP
