Album: Heartland (2010)

  • I got a message for the acolytes
    I am your man in a bloody fight
    I got a thirst for liquid gold
    I'll bludgeon 'til the body's cold

    The stony hiss of cockatrice has cast us into serfdom
    I close my eyes, and spur Imelda down the mountainside
    For a liberated Spectrum

    I took No-Face by his beak and broke his jaw
    He'll never speak again
    I took No-Face by his beak and broke his jaw
    He'll never speak again

    My every move is guided by the bidding of the singer
    The night is split by the whistle of my amber whip
    And the fire from my fingers Writer/s: Owen Pallett
