lyrics

Do as they say
It'll be OK
But what have you show
At the end of the day?
Your best years are behind you
And time don't forgive
The choices you'd have made
In a life better lived
The imbecile is king
But no one shares the blame
We all know the game is rigged
But we play it all the same
History's not repeating
It's going in reverse
Be thankful for the gifts you have
From here it just gets worse

Revolution, get your kicks
Burn it down, and now it's fixed
It's off to the Promised Land we go
Sanity is disappearing
The arc is full, but no one's steering
The flood comes with the cawing of the crow

It's a goddamn mess from cradle to grave
We've gone up to space
And then back to the caves
It's the winter of man
Now the ice is cracked
Taking one step forward
And two steps back

The ocean's worm, the earth is flat
And now your mind is wrecked
It's heads I win and tails you lose
Now, what did you expect?
They're sharpening the pitchforks
And the finger's on the switch
The cause du jour is just for sure
Rejoice, now burn the witch
You've swiped away your sorrows
Now you're standing on the brink
The abyss is staring back now
It'll take you 'fore you blink
Comfort and confusion
Claimed your daughters and your sons
'Cause World War 3 is bound to be
In zeros and ones

Revolution, get your kicks
Burn it down, and now it's fixed
It's off to the Promised Land we go
Sanity is disappearing
The arc is full, but no one's steering
The flood comes with the cawing of the crow

Tal Cohen-Shalev Israel

Israeli-American artist Tal Cohen-Shalev has defied classification by creating music beyond the predefined notions of his genre. From his 2009 singer-songwriter inclined debut Heartaches and Ashes to 2023's nihilistic doom and gloom electronica of Sodom is Back, he has constantly pushed the boundaries of his genre into a stylistically ambiguous and unique pastiche of sounds, textures and styles. ... more
