lyrics

Lyrics:
I went walking around just the other night
Amongst all the houses and their well placed lights
And I promise I was doing nothing wrong
But my eyes wandered in kept me from moving along
And it seems we all have gone to such great lengths
To hide all our blemishes and accentuate our strengths

Kill – the feral
Bleach it till – it’s sterile

I saw silhouettes through the plantation shutters
I watched the wind lift a leaf up and put it in the gutter
And I had to admire all their manicured lawns
Yeah the cycle’s recycled and the people move on
And the wrought iron fences keep intruders at bay
But a fear surrounds us during the cold light of day

Kill – the feral
Bleach it till – it’s sterile


Marco (Polo)
Gonna search through the dark – all through the night
Oh, Marco (Polo)
Yeah our eyes are closed – but we can still feel the light

As I stood among the spoils of a mighty conquest
Beneath all the plunder was an emptiness
And the foot soldiers numbered several thousand strong
Ready to fight whether for right or for wrong
But the walls they are crumbling beneath this finished veneer
And when consequence comes calling may our conscience be clear

Kill – the feral
Bleach it till – it’s sterile

Marco (Polo)
Gonna search through the dark – all through the night
Oh, Marco (Polo)
Yeah our eyes are closed – but we can still feel the light
