hermitofthewoods - as rainfall blackens the embers lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve known some weird f-ckers
knife throwers, motorcycle gangs
a wiccan priestess friends of jesus
and thieves with irish names
but that first sack of feces
hid in a closet while we were watching that sh-t
the whole time
from the beginning of the movie he knew the entire script
without making a sound and knowing
when the opportunity would arise
to be the biggest sc-mbag -sshole
piece of cr-p of a human being alive
we didn’t hear him open the closet door
in the darkness of the bas-m-nt
and we didn’t hear his clothes rustle
when he raised his arm and took aim
and there was just enough light
from the glow of the television
to see the 17″ polished steel rambo knife
thrown with precision
as it whistled through the air between our heads
in time with malachi’s knife
it dug four inches into the cement
we screamed and ran for our life
waking all the neighbours. we were 9. but i learned
if you’re not the one to get the drop first
you’re going to get burned
i’ll wait my turn to study survival style and execution
stall confusion, squeeze don’t pull
there’s no such thing as allocution

[chorus]
there’s a rainstorm, plagues, and swarms
everything is breaking down, it’s what i’m paid for
there’s a strange war
and i was made to play with violence
as rainfall blackens embers
i paint shadows on my eyelids
there’s a pain worn on the places of the poor
from everything that’s been taken out
i’m trying to give them more
it’s a strange war, but i was made to play with violence
as rainfall blackens embers
i paint shadows on my eyelids

[verse 2]
i studied in forests ‘round the lakes in falls and winters
master splinter grateful casey jones
beginner at the centre
my training rainy days
was lashing logs along the treetops
so the water drops were stopped
and siphoned down into the teapot
he taught me from field manuals and gave me homework from the cookbook
brought me first look at the latest tools of the trade
he got from paying crooks
our rivals shook the ground with anxious energy
i’m the enemy
when they sentenced me
he presented me with the entry fee and dependency
they resented me
but the defenses he ingrained inside my brain
reaped a harvest blessed with pain
for those who dare to speak my name
because i play the greatest game
and have ever since i lost my innocence
i’m terrified, but into this – the lonely roads of inner bliss
the witness lists and synthesis
of flesh and bone and hollow tips
the christmas gifts and business trips
the listlessness and nervous ticks
where i exist few can fathom rational explanations
unravel your expectations
i was raised to aid in domination

[verse 3]
i’ve told you i am death – i am the harbinger of doom
consume the moon to darken lonely nights
and turn my sights on you
i am a ruiner of lives and nothing drives my occupation
besides the palpitations
that arise in times of concentration
angels of pain have been described
throughout the centuries
and i’ve never believed in angels
it’s not something i’d pretend to be
but i’m the alpha and the omega
in the lives of countless people
i am love and i am evil
– i am the one who makes us equal
i didn’t choose this life
it was thrust upon me and i accept it
i regret it and respect it reject it and protect it
detective of your weaknesses
and exploiter of your deepest flaws
bury shots beneath applause
and b–by-trap the path to oz
some days it’s odd
i feel like i can’t drop it when i’m home
it follows me
and the ones who took it in the heart appear
when i’m alone
but i’m in the shadows now
trained for unflinching efficiency
knife throwers live to be a million years old
and no one’s k!lling me
