Battle Lines Lyrics - White Bear - The Temperance Movement

raised my eyes to light beyond the surface 

stretched my fingers upon the virgin sand 

dragged my belly across the open danger 

stimulation few could understand 

blood stain on my moral fibre 

bleached out but it's never been right 

reclaimed by a hob-nailed hipster 

reaching for his better side 

who knew I was a fine grind gangster 

heart beating by my inly vice 

when the money ain't winning the war 

you redraw the battle lines

further over I spied the weaker brother 

suicidal by his own design 

raised his head up an cried what they had called him 

with my blue eyes and a name the same as mine 

hurricane in the natural order 

best dive if you missed the ark 

when the high tide pulling you down 

you swim like a tiger shark 

who knew I was a fine grind gangster 

heart beating by my inly vice 

when the money ain't winning the war 

you redraw the battle lines

blood stain on my moral fibre 

bleached out but it's never been right 

reclaimed by a hob-nailed hipster 

reaching for his better side 

who knew I was a fine grind gangster 

heart beating by my inly vice 

when the money ain't winning the war 

you redraw the battle lines
