I know that the sunset empire shudders and shakes
i know there's a floodgate and a raging river
i say the silence of the ribbons of iron and steel
i say hear the punch drunk huddle drive hammer and steel
Sometimes you're beaten to the call
sometimes you're taken to the wall
but you don't give in
I know that the cannibals wear smart suits and ties
i know they arm wrestle on the altar
i say don't leave your heart in a hard place
Sometimes you're shaken to the core
sometimes the face is gonna fall
but you don't give in
