about

The seventh track on July For Kings' fourth studio album Middletown. A driving pentatonic hard-rocker about sand wars in the third world.

lyrics

drop the bones and make your stand
if this means life
we pull an answer from the sand
and it's okay if you don't know what you'll become
if we have to fade
we'll fade out in the sun

just pull this string
unraveling kings
we sew our own wings

i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future

all the goddesses of death are dead
one more time
we pull a feather from her head
like our fathers did we cut your heart away
to place it on the scale
and find out how you're made

string by string
unraveling kings
we sew our own wings

i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future

beat an ancient drum
tombs and guns
unbury your keys
send the army in
i've got a strong wind
inside of me

i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the trigger
new power in my hands
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up

i trade my lines i trade my time
for cities made of steel
i try and dive while the sea's still alive
keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
new power in my hands
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
yeah
i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
to feed the future
