One of my favs. The lyrics were the first ones I wrote for Loath, and they were just kicking around waiting for the right tune. The chorus is a bastardized Harry Nillson song.
lyrics
I changed my name like a dusty coat
In an alley where scraps were plentiful
And the wind tore my hair
Until I saw nothing
Nothing but the frontier
And vandalized altars wreathed in unborn prayer
My batteries run low and memory flickers
You beside me there in the trench
Bone and shit - shelter from the bombs
I changed my name again
To calm them, to calm them
To quell
I hurt the boys I couldn't save
I called them things that were not their names
I blamed them for what I was forced to do
Where the castle laid its shadow
Like pilgrims, we ate in silence
And under torture, gave up
Gave up our neighbors
To quell
