Old Friends / New War - Refused

I clutch the worn out year of my birth

Herded with the herd

I whisper through anemic lips: I was born

And the centuries surround me with fire

I clutch the worn out year of my birth

Herded with the herd

I whisper through anemic lips: I was born

And the centuries surround me with fire

Aortas fill with blood to cleanse my head

To clean this feed

Commit to memory failures past and our petty needs

Suppress the crime of time and the names that map our identity

'Cause when the fighting stops our damned souls will rot

We’ll never be set free

I’m all out of appeals now

I’m just going to scream now

Old friends, new war

Stuck in an uneven fight

Old friends, new war

Not dumb enough to close my eyes

Old friends, new war

Still dancing to defective rhymes

Old friends, new war

The silence of the herd, apologetic words, is all I ever find

And there’s no other choice but to create some noise and sharpen up my mind

'Cause when the cages shrink I’ll be the weakest link on every fucking chain

Can never pacify this constant war inside, all the hate and pain

I’m all out of appeals now

I’m just going to scream now

Old friends, new war

Stuck in an uneven fight

Old friends, new war

Not dumb enough to close my eyes

Old friends, new war

Still plotting 'til the end of night

Old friends, new war

I clutch the worn out year of my birth

Herded with the herd

I whisper through anemic lips: I was born

And the centuries surround me with fire

And the centuries surround me with fire

And the centuries surround me with fire
