we used to hear those bells
they used to lead us away
now every time they ring
it only helps us keep time
but they don't ring so loud
gather 'round, gather 'round
this old amplifier
a drum kit as an altar
three hail mary's and seven decibals
gather 'round! gather 'round!
these cracked speakers
three hail mary's and seven decibals
one our father and four beats per measure
kneel down, stand up, sit down
hallelujah smoke up
kneel down, stand up, sit down
hallelujah drink up
the sound guy cries aloud
while he twists and turns his knobs
a girl cries out something
unheard from the bar
this is all we've got
to show for our
petty sins, tonight
but it's not that easy to see
what we wanted to be
i can't recall it's name
but it sounds so clear
i can't recall it's name
This album fucks as hard as dripping and magic but imo feels the most personal and emotional release of the three. It’s weird and frantic but hits
this really interesting balance.
