38.One Hundred Years (Rhino Studio Demo)

作詞:Simon Gallup, Simon Smith, Laurence Tolhurst

Doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home, time, a story on the radio

Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh a prayer for something better
A prayer for something better

Please, love me, meet my mother
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow

Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything? She struggles to get away

The pain and the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday, the death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror

Aching inside me, turn me round
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days

Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance under a black flag

A hundred years of blood, crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth and my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water

Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over

We die one after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other

It feels like a hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
