[acolyte_to_jippity]

take my love
take my land
take me where I cannot stand
I don't care
I'm still free
you can't take the sky from me

take me out
to the black tell 'em I ain't coming back
burn the land
and boil the sea
you can't take the sky from me

have no place
I can be
since I found Serenity
but you can't take the sky from me

music and lyrics by Joss Whedon
Ballad of Serenity

[uuntiltheendd]

seaward - the acacia strain
I have escaped into the middle of nowhere
Where no one can hear you or would ever want to journey
I have found you the perfect place to spend the rest of your life
And you're lucky I let you live this long to see it

I don't care who you are, you're no one tonight
I don't care who you were, you're nothing tonight
I don't care who you are, you're no one tonight
I don't care who you were, you're nothing tonight

Hair like sand
Skin like salt
She smelled of the sea

Hair like sand
Skin like salt
She smelled of the sea

I tore her apart
And when she screamed all I could hear was the ocean
I tore her apart
And when she looked at me all I could see was fear

It's hard to keep sinking ships afloat
I am the failure she never knew
Oceans apart, days away
We are from from lost, but farther from being found
You're far beyond your jurisdiction here

Don't make me come out there and get you son
I fucking dared him, I fucking dared him
No one can help you way out here
We can't be bothered by that nonsense way out here

Sand in her hair
Salt on her skin
Bloated but not breathing
The air is soaking wet with salt and death

And I curse like a fucking sailor
And I curse like a fucking sailor
And I curse like a fucking sailor
And I curse like a fucking sailor

Loose lips sink ships

i like the lyrics to every acacia strain song on the album continent but im not going to post them.

The Dead Flag Blues
God Speed! You Black Emperor
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful..
These are truly the last days"

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it's the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood.

The song puts more meaning behind the lyrics.
