Feast of Hammers - Birdeatsbaby

I’m invited to the feast of hammers

Led like cattle to the bride

If you’re dumb or lonely, you can come and join me

But I warn you, you’ll be crucified

I’m invited to the feast of hammers

Sacrificed and happy to be paid

Like dull creatures, they will beg to beat her

And I cannot help but do the same

Do you know what’s needed?

Growing underneath it

If you keep on hammering on

See my sister, she is cold and distant

She’s been hanging from the chandelier

See my brother, he was bled for another

While the milk of kindness hides in here

Now we’re winning, in this game of drowning

And the walls are crumbling to the earth

Soon we’ll see it, and for one sweet minute

We will have some purpose and some worth

And if you listen

You will hear them quicken

You can hear them hammering, hammering on

I am punished divine

I am broken so fine

And my battle is won

Will you count to seven

Will you keep this hidden

Will you keep on hammering, hammering on
