Protest the Hero - Blindfolds Aside video free download

Song 6 off Kezia, and probably my favorite on the whole album. Maybe my favorite by them. Maybe, my favorite.

Lyrics:

We woke up as men but tonight we'll sleep as killers

As we break the cryptic morning with a bullet and a prayer

The steel never seemed more cold and agile than life never seems less vital and fragile

With a heart that's beating louder than my own

I watch a girl they call Kezia

I watch a woman that I know

my hopes and my own future blindfolded

To atone a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts

A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes

and No one ever said that hope would be so beautiful

and no one ever said I'd have to pull that trigger, on her

I can't even still her trembling hands that were locked up by the dutiful and the obligated;

Five soldiers forever sedated with the,

"No one's responsible" psychological drama of our social justice dribble, dribble

Her tiny steps tell lies about the choice I have to make;

[Her tiny steps] To resurrect [tell lies about] a static lifetime [the choice] to starve [I have] to death [to make] my own mistakes

So pull the screaming trigger and watch your carcass bleed me dry

Or drop the gun and try to shake away the blindfold from your eyes?

Drop the gun(pull), drop the gun(the), drop the gun(trigger), drop the gun.
