bad breeding - temple of victory lyrics

[verse 1]
fireworks and canisters, the hoisting of colours
a crossing of futures and rafts of despair
fireworks and canisters, an arson of memory
coded histories, a temple of victory
carrying the lie of a borrowed mind
the hoisting of colours, sculpted by fear
in honest work, preserve the beauty
of agony, a path of glory
behind the callow smear and parades of ecstasy
is weakness sewn in costume and buried in conceit

[chorus]
a triumph of distrust and the mould of deceit
your temple of victory
trumpeting irony and the cloak of defeat
your temple of victory

[verse 2]
fireworks and canisters, the certainty of solution
in beaches and carcass, a proud sea of nameless bodies
and they have convinced that each one dredged is another’s distant fault
the fated convergence of how it is and how it was
and they have convinced that the rot starts in the guts of the hapless poor
kneecap and humiliate, annihilate the promise of more
[chorus]
a triumph of distrust and the mould of deceit
your temple of victory
trumpeting irony and the cloak of defeat
your temple of victory

[bridge]
a gutless sketch in god’s image, christ’s shafted whipping boy
hung from the gallows of the mail, stripped of purpose, polluted meaning
concrete poverty, fictional glories
your temple of victory

[verse 3]
a life’s work of terminal redundancy
kneeling and weeping at the temple of victory
tears of confusion, a lonely island drifting
grotesque and broken, your temple of victory
ornaments of fantasy, your temple of victory
a futile legacy, your temple of victory
the mould of distrust and the romance of deceit
a futile legacy, your temple of victory
