The Entire World Is Counting on Me, and They Don’t Even Know It Lyrics
9 ContributorsThe Entire World Is Counting on Me, and They Don’t Even Know It LyricsThe opening track to Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child is an in-your-face, straight to the point track with complex and dynamic instrumentation, backed by Josh Scogin’s unconventional vocal delivery.Running away from this Earth
May it pass away
In the beautiful flames
That it was created for
Because when
When tomorrow fails to come
Today's just not the same
Inflamed Earth
Inflamed Earth (?)

Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care) Set it all ablaze, set it all ablaze
(For all I care, for all I care, for all I care)
For all I care
Set this world, all ablaze
For all I care
Set this world, I'll set it all ablaze
Memphis Will Be Laid to Waste Lyrics
[Intro]
Ahem, yeah!
[Chorus]
Waltz around the room
With a glaze in your stare
In your tuxedo suit
I'll give it a name
Lower defenses
I'll lower the casket
Open the door
Open the grave
[Bridge]
Murder, murder
Murder, murder
[Verse 1]
Now you're doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
Doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
You're doing the waltz with your murderer
Woah, yeah
[Chorus]
Waltz around the room
With a glaze in your stare
Tuxedo suit
Give it a name
Lower defenses
Lower the casket
Open the door
Open the grave
Meow
[Verse 2]
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
Mediocrity is the killer
[Verse 3]
You find yourself helpless, oh
Christ is not a fashion
Fleeting away
[Bridge 2]
Fashion, fashion, fashion
[Verse 4: Aaron Weiss]
He laid emeralds in her eyes
Oh, but I'd already tied
A bracelet made of gold
And scarlet thread around her wrist
And everything was wrong
So we sang sentimental songs
Oh, how seldom we belong
But how elegant our kiss
And we painted crooked lines
But we danced in perfect time
To a love so much refined
We know not what it is
So like the dullen wine
We pour into a grief we'd known before
But never quite like this
Never quite like this
All I know now is regret
She follows like a silhouette
On the cobblestone behind me
She has nothing left to say
Except to innocently ask
Her voice delicate as glass
"Do you see me when we pass?"
But I
I continue on my way
Creating Something Out of Nothing, Only to Destroy It Lyrics
[?]
Shoe shine your ammo, your metal
Shoe shine, polish your gun
I need not your wicked weapons
[?]
My war is not with someone like you
My war is not with someone like you
String of blood
That is not my own
Strings between
A sword and my heart
So much so
That it makes its way through
My throat
Giving me thought to speak
My pistol
My dagger
This becomes your future
Unseen war
String of blood
That is not my own
Strings between a sword
And my heart
It's so much so
That it makes its way through my throat
Giving me thought to speak
This becomes my pistol
This becomes my dagger
This becomes your future
Unseen war
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Your weapons are useless
(Drop the gun)
Golden gun
(The gun)
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
Like bringing a knife to a gun fight
