Gunpowder Lyrics - Singles - Strike Anywhere

I see you 

Staring out from the printed page 

the calm before the storm 

in your breath 

The sunset on the side 

of your face 

the moments between 

life and death 

One truth for the men who pushed 

you into death 

and one truth for the rest of us 

we may be down 

but not out 

We're standing right in back of you 

Static quotations, historical lies 

Don't mean nothing 

when your children die 

just one more breath 

the last word on your lips 

The dust and the bruise 

The gunpowder we choose 

Soldiers of the hopeful masses 

optionless 

working classes 

sending money home to keep illusion alive 

standing right in back of me 

Static quotations, historical lies 

Don't mean nothing 

when your children die 

just one more breath 

the last word on your lips 

The dust and the bruise 

The gunpowder we choose 

We're standing right in back of you 

One truth for the men who pushed 

you into death 

and one truth for the rest of us 

(The rest of us) 

we may be down 

but not out 

We're standing right in back of you 

Static quotations, historical lies 

Don't mean nothing 

when your children die 

just one more breath 

the last word on your lips 

The dust and the bruise 

The gunpowder we choose
