Lullaby - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Last night, you died a little

Died a little inside

You found out this doesn't end well

There is no making this right

Saltpeter makes the world come alive

And there's a fire burning in your own mind's eye

And you're a waiting cannon on the edge of a fight

Put the powder in and tamp it down and set it alight

You just wanna make it out alive

No gods and no heroes

But I'll sing you another lullaby

Where angels start falling from the sky

Shoot first and bring 'em back to life

Now I know that we can never die

The world turns, another murder

Another innocent dies

Then Abiyoyo blocks out the sun

You're trapped by Baba Yaga inside of her chicken leg hut

Anansi tricks you with his clever mind

But nothing matters 'cause the end is nigh

And you're still thinking that we'll never die

No gods and no heroes

But I'll sing you another lullaby

Where angels start falling from the sky

Scream out 'til your lungs burst

And the tears start streaming out your eyes

Your knees to the ground and face to the sky
