lirik lagu fourth of july – lumpp
the fourth
in any other town, a holiday
but here the day is holy, so they say
a day when something strange is going forth
the townsfolk all dread there’ll be soot on their head
or their hands will be stained up with coals
the dark-colored marks that appear, they are led
to believe, designate all their roles
for their dirt they’re compelled to rinse off in the sea
by an urge they’re too weak to resist
and the sailors, with glee, can declare themselves free
with this sacrifice, they’ve been dismissed
the boats
that watch the sh-r- for residents who delve
into the deep, or sacrifice themselves
if all the residents who swim there float
no one alive can remember the year
that no sacrifice ever had came
but everyone knows how the rest of that year
the whole town had been struck by the rain
the fires that burn in the circles that turn
are no peaceful explosive delights
but later that night, they all feel the relief
that their bodies don’t make up the lights
the bursts
predict the coming year from day to day
inform them of the weather and the way
that presidents and kings will turn the earth
some wait at sea for the ground to erupt
while the others watch closely on land
recording the measurements, writing the almanacs
using their own sleight of hand
the fireworks burst from their holes in a natural
strange event people should heed
but the others are added on top of them so
no one else has a forecast to read
the salt
that falls alongside embers real and fake
the sailors shepherd it into the lake
‘cause salination is their other goal
so many secrets surround all the boats
and their captains who shovel the salt
a rumor says ‘soon, there’ll be sea in that lake
and the saltw-ter’ll be all their fault’
n-body knows what they do, but the aims
of that group have a terrible side
if townsfolk all knew what they were, i would hope
that n-body would let it all slide
