lyrics

All that's left is no man's land
It's eye for an eye, hand for a hand
There's names one can never speak
I see no olive branch, no olive leaves
See how the gluttons feast
Gnawing on bones like wild beasts

I see the world from the mountain peak
Fires burn forever in the valley deep
There's no one left in the watchman's tower
We wait, alas, for the darkest hour
See the gallows with swinging feet
Hear the call of a million wild beasts

Clench your fists
Clench your teeth
Ain't no hiding from
The jaws of wild beasts

My hands are clean, my hands are dirty
I'd give you water, but I'm more thirsty
The night bleeds against the sky
The canyon cracks, the river runs dry
No use to turn the other cheek
We lay prey to the claws of wild beasts

I hear the endless bells of dawn
I see the crow with feathers painted on
The horizon is forever wide
The breath of wind blows the trees from side to side
We taketh of the holy drink
Made for the lips of wild beasts

Clench your fists
Clench your teeth
Ain't no hiding from
The jaws of wild beasts
