The Line Between The Devil’s Teeth (And That Which Cannot Be Repeat)
[Verse 1]
A white light, blazing deep
Through the wasteland, searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As I thirsty, gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted, painful, ends to win
The battle of the me, so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
[Verse 2]
Push me in take me toward
The subject in, the subject taught
A war without, a war within
Join head and heart for to begin
Bemused, we flinch, no easy work
For invited men are loath to shirk
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
[Chorus]
War, work
War, work
War, work
[Verse 1]
A white light, blazing deep
Through the wasteland, searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As I thirsty, gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted, painful, ends to win
The battle of the me, so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
[Chorus]
(War, work)
And you will understand
Oh, my burning pride
(War, work)
Rips me up inside
? once again
(War, work)
You will understand
Rips me up inside
Rips me up inside
[Bridge]
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have is all you are?
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have is all you are?
Is your only true friend
When above you in the firmament
Flow the blood of the prophets
Out of your reach
From your aching speech
[Verse 1]
A white light, blazing deep
Through the wasteland, searching we
Soaring birds now hunt the brow
As I thirsty, gripped with hunger now
Clear sighted, painful, ends to win
The battle of the me, so wafer thin
The line between the devil's teeth
And that which cannot be repeat
[Chorus]
War, work
War, work
War, work
[Bridge]
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have is all you are?
Hey man, how will you feel
When all you have is all you are?
Is your only true friend
When above you in the firmament
Flow the blood of the prophets
Out of your reach
From your aching speech
