lyrics

You left your only son to wolves.
You built us with the strangest stones.
What you're doing is impossible.
You paint our souls in marigold.

Don't you ever want to sleep?
Don't you grow weary of stitching up your soldiers?
The wolves are hungry, the wolves they weep.
Yeshua, I'm so afraid. Your temple is falling down.

Send your angels! Send your demons!
I hope your rivers run dry.
Send your angels! Send your demons!
I pray holy fires melt the sky.

I'm so tired of living for me, living for you, living for me, dying for you.
I want to forgive what you took from me.
Would you kiss me while I run you through?
I have to know, Father, why, Father why, Father why,
I was the tallest and proudest of your horses
But you had to make a wolf of me.
I can't wait to be your first mistake.
I can't wait to burn for eternity.
So tell me why, Father, why, Father why
Can I not be me?

Send your angels! Send your demons!
Is it hard to wear your crown?
Send your angels! Send your demons!
Yeshua, your temple is falling down.

The music all culminates in The Town Monster's crushing live show, an electro bath of sensory overload. It finds out what happens when noise becomes symphony. ... more
