Salo - Salo lyrics

"It really was an end of innocence in American life. I can remember like it was yesterday." Collecting the blood as it gathers down the slope Choke back any sense of hope It's what you always wanted Holding back the breath with the palms of your hands Grasping with the chance It's what you always wanted Justify your strength by preying off the weak It's what makes you so believable Can't you feel it The impulse of fury Of satisfying lust That compounds you Can't you believe in it The compulsory trust That binds you to it The magnetizing faith Can't come to terms with what I've done for this end The fallout from these given god sends It's what you always dreamed of Rectify your deeds by demonizing the meek It's what makes it all relatable Can't you feel it The impulse of fury Of satisfying lust That compounds you Can't you believe in it The compulsory trust That binds you to it The galvanizing sensation That confounds you Day break the gates On these night terrors Day break the gates On these midnight regrets You've beholden me These four months These four months The mechanisms are all breaking down The mechanisms breaking down Down I won't be waiting for I won't be waiting for "No one knew why they were selected, we were part of the same group, so we felt so threatened. You had all these friends who died, and you had to choose which funerals to go to. If all your friends die at the same time, how do you pick?"
