lyrics

VERSE
Combat, time to lace up
As this debate defaces the best of
Our level intentions and aspirations
‘Cause our defences are altercations
That stop the train
Deceleration
Funny how that goes
Firing tender blows
Over an outcome you propose

CHORUS
Unwavering convictions
Despite the contradictions
From your firehosing frenzy
‘Cause it’s not about persuasion
Or clear communication
No, it’s not about what we believe
It’s win by any means

VERSE
Resignations the flash in the pan
Logic be damned
Inflate the demand
The fast evasion
For justification
Towards you entertaining an indisputable plan
No opposition
Funny how that goes
Every way we go
The only way you can impose

CHORUS 2
Deciphering your language
Is detrimental damage
From your firehosing frenzy
‘Cause it’s not about persuasion
Or clear communication
No, it’s not about what we believe
It’s win by any means

BRIDGE
Take some tiny detail
To break and belittle my will
To fake some tiny victory
Passing, fleeting, defeating
But keeping control
Keeping control
Passing, fleeting, defeating
But keeping control

CHORUS 3
Well I will not go crazy
From all the verbal hazing
No argument could save me
From your firehosing frenzy
‘Cause it’s not about persuasion
Or clear communication
No, it’s not about what we believe
It’s win by any means

It’s win by any means
It’s win by any means

Father Sky
by Hypergiant

supported by 4 fans who also own “Syntax”

Caustic blend of solar-winds riffage, austere interludes, and searing vocals, accented with an inexorable funereality. Pairs well with Mudgee white port, Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy, and herbaceous fines processed for aromatherapy by my slick new Hypergiant grinder. Ad astra! Felix Mickiewicz
