O! a Smile of Blood! Lyrics

I
From the cacophonous roar, beauty springs.
A blood streaked rose rising from a pile of shit.
We dance as the drones film us, and we fly higher than they.
The only thing higher than our spirits are the flames,
And the flames are more easily doused.
It was only a matter of time before we danced on the faces of kings.
All we can say is that we will try something different.
If it works then it works. If it doesn't then at least we tried.
Our being in spite of yours.
Holding hands and stomping ash and burning down the may pole.
And the only ones who fear tomorrow are they that make t'morrow harder.
O! a smile like blood!
Growing pains never stop we have outgrown our shell.

II
I am that oil fire, black and burning and full of spite, tendrils in all directions.
I singe the past and flood the future.
Will the blood or the water reach our eyes first?
We will bear our young and birth them
in your lungs
in your hearts
in your minds
And in your young
and they will gorge themselves on you, and grow fat,
as you were.
An insect left to fester.
That is fine. We embrace the shadows you loom over us.
Soon they will be shadows no more.
A lurking fear in the back of your heart.
