We Knew They Were Coming Songtext / Lyric

Here's the house that held the good life

Here's the house that held the nightmare that went on



The damage done by strangers, as foretold

I curse you, i hate you, we despise your arrival



Here's the place that held all things true

A shelter from the norm in this grey valley of time



The damage done to strangers, as expected

The tide comes in, savage, like waves of concrete






All those caged birds here to rule us, desperate

This is the nothing they all bring, the emptiness

We knew it was coming

Ugly cities and dead small towns, wastelands



Like flies, like bees, like fire surrounding everything beautiful

Reach out to the night sky, but the moon hates you



And i hate you so much, retaliation

A different salt in their blood, and we knew, we just knew



Here's the house that held the nightmare that went on
