Little Piranhas Lyrics - Singles - The Burning Of Rome

I swear if they see us 

Theyre going to kill us 

Surely theyll feed us 

To little piranhas 

O but God, 

Dont you drink that wine 

It tastes of blood, 

Fermented in barrels of pine 

O know the want, 

For these chemicals is high 

But we must not, 

Inject them until they are ripe 

You gave them hope 

You gave them the best years of your life 

Theyre pulling the levers 

The gears are in reverse 

Come now my sister 

And head to the river 

O hear the dams, 

Break and watch the waters rise 

Theyre infested with piranha fry 

O dont pretend, 

This is the end of our lives 

Believe it or not, 

These things happen all the time 

Theyve taken hope 

Theyve taken the best years of your life 

Is this the best sex youve ever had? 

Is this the best book youve ever read? 

Is this the loud silence? 

Is this the next best thing to death?
