No lights in the city tonight
the worst outage we've ever known
the power's out I don't see your eyes
and these locks have been compromised
they won't keep them out
and this is when I said:
"It feels like death might win."
Your sister died in the street last week
they clubbed her head and broke her bones
her husband fled but lost his feet
they tracked him down at the general store
and flung him straight through the glass
and this is when you said:
"It feels like death might win."
We fled the city to gather our strength
and count the guns and swords between us
to count the men for our revenge
believing God was on our side
to make our violence right
to make our enemies say:
"It feels like death might win."
