lyrics

Mortar

even i am not protected
even i the earth will claim
we have struggled here forever
even so we fall the same

yes of course you will be different
you’re the one to break the mold
far above the laws of nature
like the rest your end foretold

who is god to drain my freedom
who are men to mock my need
i am pounded by a mortar
soon enough the spirit freed

i am seething at the punctures
my proud fortress overrun
every breath could be finale
in a flash my story done

life so blind until it’s threatened
all the piggies in the mud
with a grunt the butcher grabs you
bacon boys and streams of blood

chorus

we contest the iron endgame
though there’s little we can do
pushing back with prayers and potions
til the darkness covers you

who is god to drain my freedom
who are men to mock my need
i am pounded by a mortar
soon enough the spirit freed

repeat 1st verse
