the lion killers / devil's dust - the stepgods lyrics

once, we were lions, dangerous and erect in the dawn of the sweltering season, walking among girls bearing soft brown skin, trampling the snapping carcasses of the boys who chased them
we were joyriders who knew all the words. we were h*llfire and the laughter of children, punching through windshields and burning the village down. we walk softer now, sharing the gathered wisdom of the hunt, fingers smooth over scars, every inch, every step, every mile, constructing chairs for the stone porch

we were lions once, tearing the jungle floor with claw and roar, and the pain was delicious until we crossed the threshold into the flatlands

but every so often, in the haze of the sweltering season, we get the itch, the mad itch for the hunt, and we are no longer lions, but lion k!llers, crazed with bravery, calmed by the patient understanding bought by battles in war zone briar bushes, crazed by the salt*kissed scent of women, rising only to scream strange cries at jungles we knew once as home so many miles ago

sightless, i’m leading the blind
my path is covered in landmines
and it’s endless
sometimes you sing like the bad son
sometimes you sound like a sage
and i’m faithless

and without a hand i scale the face, faceless
with each step, screams the mountain, screams the mountain
with each blow, i will crush you, you will crush me, till we’re dust

sometimes you call me companion
then turn and scuttle the ship
now we’re sinking

and without a hand i scale the face, faceless
with each step, screams the mountain, screams the mountain
with each blow, i will crush you, you will crush me, till we’re dust
and it’s hard to smell like a rose
when there’s blood on your brain
and it’s hard to smell like a rose
when there’s blood on your brain

with each step, screams the mountain, screams the mountain
with each blow, i will crush you, you will crush me, till we’re dust, till we’re dust
