legionnaire's song - ford pier lyrics

we were born in darker times in the shadow of the spire
in the corners of the caves
in the fl!cker of the fire
in the mud and awful where the hairy eyeless creatures crept
in the things you hid away
and the secrets that you kept
and why should it be otherwise?
we were the ones abandoned
while you contrived
your perfect life, we built an army
and we marched across the fields
where the weathered seedlings die
and we fed upon the glances that met no other eye
and we built our city from your unburied bones and hair
and we gazed into the void
and we saw your future there
in the things you hid away
and the secrets that you kept
and why should it be otherwise?
we were the ones abandoned
while you contrived
your perfect life, we built an army
were the them you talk about when you need to pass the buck
were the they you snivel to when you speak of rotten luck
were the serpents in the trees
and the gators in the muck
the invisible hand of fate with its fingers at your throat
were the rusty fire escapes cutting fragile children’s feet
were the worms and alkaloids in your favorite butchers feet
were the lovers mocking thee
the betrayal of a friend
were the [?] [?] yawning at waking ear
and why should it be otherwise?
we were the ones abandoned
while you contrived
your perfect life, we built an army
