City Of Industry Lyrics

City Of Industry by Jehst

• Air poured, my thoughts shrouded by cloud forms
• The land ravaged in the wake of this ground war
• The quintessential outlaw
• Eye of the storm, my tears fall as a torrential downpour
• The flood, your death wish written in blood
• I came in from the cold, clothes dripping with mud
• Gripping a club, primitive, as Stig of the Dump
• Swinging a punch, the bad seed pick of the bunch
• I drink black rain, take another swig and I'm drunk
• Taste venom on the tip of my tongue, my lips cold
• Spitting out toxins I couldn't dissolve or withhold
• I never sold my soul for fool's gold
• So I'm still free, but too numb to feel pity
• Some broke down, now the steel city's a ghost town
• Snowflakes cover the ground in white carpets
• Seasons of espionage as time passes
• The lion hearted, survival of the hardest artist
• My open arms embrace darkness
• Still craving carnage and infamy
• But even parasites starve in this carcass of industry

• You can see me as cynical, trapped in my own gothic vision
• Encapsulating chaos in this composition
• Calculated like the lies of a politician
• Gripping the slingshot, I size up the opposition
• I drop a match in the clouds and watch the flames rise
• Fire water falling from these grey skies
• To painted train lines, chrome over red brick
• Reflective, like a gemstone in a cesspit
• Jehst gives belief to a skeptic
• The truth neglected like open wounds that turn septic
• Infected by the forked tongue of a liar
• Now my thoughts are the colour of fire
• And my night's spent bunnin' the kaya
• Unspired by the freak show
• I see ghosts dance in the trail of my weed smoke
• My words are folklore, that survived the Cold War
• New World Order and so forth
• I go north, ankle-deep in snowfall
• Leaping over dry stone walls with a holdall
• Steam clouds rise from my fiery breath
• It's the last twilight before the silence of death
