Ides - Hysteric Lyrics

Draw down the moon, tooth and nail
Dip her in blood, and let it rain down

We fled, stifling moans
Cradling bellies swollen with truth
Flushed out past barred doors and empty streets
We saw too much, knew too much
We ran in packs like wild dogs
Loping as the blood trickled down our legs
We limped when we had to, we shared our pain

What power do we have left
That they haven't taken away
If you were still given the choice to howl at the moon,
Wouldn't you

Writhing as one, bodies contorted
Our tent stained red with unbirth
Visions unleashed, future distorted
Beyond life known to Man
Fever manias unchain, the beast within
I don't crave your blood tonight, got enough of my own
But given the chance to tear you limb from limb
Makes me weak at the knees, weaker at the knees

Draw down the moon, tooth and nail
Dip her in blood, and let it rain down
On those that would try and us deny us our pain
Make them wish they'd never been born

You come for us, silver coat hanger glinting in the night
We drew first blood and we shall draw the last

Are you really any more evolved
With your mandible grip and your modified claws
Can't tell who is who when you stand before me
Who is the lesser beast, and which still has dignity
Cause building a tower just to look down on us all
It doesn't make you any higher a power
Stone peaks block out that pale orb in the sky
But she still shines, and I scream in the night for her

You swear my pain's not here
You swear my pain's not real
You swear my pain's not here
You swear my pain's not real
Don't expect you to mourn
You'll wish you've never been born
