Joe Hawley
Sacred Beast (Demo)
[Verse 1: Joe Hawley]
We live in the service of the king
Almighty in control of everything
As the queen decides who lives and dies
Tonight we will sing

[Refrain]
Love was never more than simple
(whistling)
Easiest thing

[Verse 2: Zubin Sedghi]
Our mission is to slay the sacred beast
Who has come to claim our innocence at least
And though those who went before us won't return
For the feast

[Refrain]
We'll be riding high and swinging
(whistling)
'til we're deceased

[Bridge: Joe Hawley]
First of all we know that we are dying for our lives
Wanting for aught and no surprise
So there will need to be a war for love
Fight in spite of death above
Biting the hand that feeds its own demise
[Verse 3: Rob Cantor]
We thought we had found a separate peace
Thought all our pain had finally been released
But as long as it's alive we'll never rest
In one piece

[Refrain]
Meanwhile, may it join in whistling
(whistling)

[Bridge: Joe Hawley]
Worst of all it knows its only truth is made of lies
Wanting for aught and ever-wise
So there will need to be a compromise
Easier to close our eyes
See the other sides of our disguise

[Verse 4: Joe Hawley]
We thought love was only nice or mean
Perhaps it's something vaguely inbetween

[Outro]
So while neighbors fight to paint their yards
The best shade of green
We'll be in the garden going
(whistling)
