about

The first single from “The Late Album” (2023).

lyrics

Crucified inverted on a wheel
Thrown from a plane into the sea
Braised alive inside a brazen bull
Beheaded by an early guillotine

Executed by a thousand cuts
Strangled and impaled on a stake
Piled up with rocks until you‘re crushed
Tossed into a pit of deadly snakes

There are worse ways
So they tell me
I just don’t see
How that helps me

Birds are singing and sun’s a-shining
They don’t give two shits if we’re out here dying
They’ll die in their turn
We won’t care either
There’s no rules except one:
No survivors

Left to rot upon a stagnant pond
Built into a wall of solid brick
Forced to drink a pint of molten gold
Tied to horses, quartered limb from limb

Those who’ve got stuff
Will get more stuff
If you’ve got no stuff
I guess that’s tough

Look from one end of earth to the other
You’ll see that to exist is to suffer
That stuff you piled up
Won’t help you either
There’s no rules except one:
No survivors

Electrocuted in a wooden chair
Weighted down and pushed into a lake
Flayed of skin and blown from a gun
Kneeled on until you suffocate

I don’t mean to
Make you fearful
But maybe you should
Be more careful

Birds are singing and sun’s a-shining
They’re way too high up to care if you’re crying
Most people down here
Don’t care either
Take comfort in knowing there’s
No survivors
