Solstice Lyrics

Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Stackerlee losin' money
And he throwed the cards away
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gon' take yo' life"
Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day

Knowledge of the infinite
Even if you got it just a little bit
Soon as you feel the ground start shaking
All your sleeping doubts start waking
Baby cries through the concrete
Genocide, lost the breath of life under God's feet
Genocide of the angels
Even murdered instruments, trumpets, banjos
But I still hear singing
Mixed between the crying
Sirens ringing
Buried my whole tribe
I'm crying, thinking
Rescue us from Zion
God ain't blinking
Bodies, how they pile on
Clock ain't ticking
On face had a smile on
Plot just thickened
Courage of a lion, nine-life kitten
Wandering through iron bars, once prison

Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life"

Ils comprennent rien les soumis, les idiots, les vulgaires
À la tristesse de l'Éden, aux clartés de l'Enfer
Il faut goûter son sang car le sang est esprit
On suicide un silence en accouchant d'un cri
J'habite un désastre sous la colère des Dieux
Où le monde doit s'éteindre pour qu'on ouvre les yeux
Et le vin à la bouche, et le coeur sous le pieu
On fera vœu de renaître de quelques cendres de feu
J'effeuille les corolles de ce qu'on veut de la vie
Un peu de vent sur la peau, les caresses d'une fille
S'envolaient tout là-haut pour gratter l'équinoxe
Être un arbre écrivain en s'écorchant l'écorce
Mais tout ça s'est cassé en un éclair, coincé
Sous une chape de béton armé
Mes enfants, le solstice c'est dans longtemps
Mais longtemps c'est maintenant

Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life" (solstice)
Now Stackerlee, Lord, and Billy Lyon
They were gamblin' early one day
Now Stackerlee, he told Billy Lyon
"Billy, I'm sho' gonna take yo' life"
Now Stackerlee (now Stackerlee, now Stackerlee)
