Lyrics

Never Believe

Is everybody in?

Is everybody in?

The shit action is about to begin!

I made my servants light fire to the city

Hysterical laughter at the last of the decorated jewels

I remained drunk for the whole damned war

I owe nothing, you cynics do all the work

I let go of my hand to save this idiot bastard

Bastards!

Me and my cellmates have lost the game forever

The sun shines and I freeze my balls off

I want so much to remove your mask

And deliver your now rotting flesh from evil

Circumstances!

Circumstances!

Circumstances!

Circumstances!

But I'm only allowed to touch what I know

And all that I know are hypocrites

Liars and witches who burned in the name of lucidity

You’ll never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

We haven't much time left

Evening will come

And with its equivalence

No tethered animal

Would fear to coax

They ask of us favors we cannot fulfil

They ask after us and we smile

Course and condition

A trial for fenceless fields

We’ll go further, we’ll go for the green

As sickly a salvation for future fears

You’ll never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe

Never believe
