lyrics

Songs they must have sung on the pyramids
echo through your rough hands
into the bread and the coffee,
gunshots signal all the arrivals
spilling rum on the cinderblocks
I am a friend of your family
I am the light flashing over your eyes
you've got it easy, just remember to smile
when you walk through the neighborhood.

Leaving crumbs at your footsteps
got lost in the swell of the tidal wave
hold on, for whatever comes through here
will decimate everything
believe me though you have no reason to
I'll always hold out for you
we weren't made in His image like them
I wont desert you when the locusts descend
you were my friend when it helped you to be
when you lost everything.

Amphetamines hanging out of your pocket
they built you an ark out of rotting wood
if everyone is hoping you don't recover
then do it just 'cause you've had enough
it's my fault I got you involved in more
than you had the stomach for
you were my friend when it helped you be
the lives you took with you had the mark of The Beast
but I took you in and you stepped all over me.
