The Execution of All Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soldiers, come quickly
I feel the earth beneath my feet
I'm feeling badly, it's not an attempt at decency
And if you're well off, well, then I'm happy some for you
But I'd rather not celebrate my defeat
And humiliation here with you

[Verse 2]
Someone, come quickly
This place was built for moving out
Leave behind buildings, the city planners got mapped out
Bring with you history and make your hard earned feast
Then we'll go to Omaha to
Work and exploit the booming music scene

And humility

[Bridge]
And we've been talking all night

[Verse 3]
Oh god, come quickly
The execution of all things
Let's start with the bears and the air
And mountains, rivers and streams
Then we'll murder what matters to you
And move on to your neighbors and kids
Crush all hopes of happiness with disease
'Cause of what you did
[Verse 4]
And lastly, you're all alone with nothing left but sleep
But sleep never comes to you
It's the guilt and forever wakefulness of the weak
It's just you and me

[Outro]
The execution of all things
The execution of all things
The execution of all things

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
