Lyrics
Mohair suit breaths contempt
Pin-stripe wallet laughs
We all know he that laughs longest
Is always he that laughs last
They skin you, they flay you, they peel you alive
But as if that's not enough,
as if they're not satisfied,
They pick all your bones clean
and lick-out your insides
One mans meat is another mans' survival
There's a storm coming
The skies are overcast
There's a storm coming
The seas are rising fast
City whores they take it all
Leave you naked numbed and bare
And then return with law degrees,
To take away your last prayer.
And those dark suited black-a-jack-a-boys,
pretend they were at play
But the mile wide smiles to left and right
Give the game away
There's a storm coming
The skies are overcast
There's a storm coming
The seas are rising fast
Faceless demons rode my back
The whip falls from their hands
Unshackled and free, they can not torment me
But the whip will leave its brand
Blood red wheals, swollen eyes,
the broken jaw that sags.
I wear them well,to remind me
of when my eyes were clothed in rags
There's a storm coming
Going to change all that's gone
There's a storm coming
The seeds have all been sown
There's a storm coming
The clouds blot out the sun
There's a storm coming
And its much too late to run
There's a storm coming
The hills are all on fire
There's a storm coming
The dream has just expired
There's a storm coming
The hounds are of the leash
There's a storm coming
There's no time left for peace
There's a storm coming (repeat)
