Redeemer Songtext
von Yard Act

You envy the freak
I can see it in your eyes
No one is happy with this arrangement
How could we know any other way to live?
But I′m not scared of all you people no more
No shudders, shakes or shivers left to give
Lies served cold with a side of meanness
We all laugh about it in the right rooms
With enough distance in between us
The mirror's edge, I see an evil genius

But hope still permeates even at a snail′s pace

Redeemer
You had your fun
Now you're clinging to your rosaries like a nun
Redeemer
You stole the sun
Now you're orbiting the bullshit of all damage done


The Taoist monks had good intention
Playing doctor with what God′s got
We saw divine intervention
Rattle through the bones of everybody that was ever shot
I want to be a war torn veteran
So I can understand
But I don′t want to know what it's like not to be free
I want to be angry at the world from a crippling disposition
Just tell me what you need from me

And I smash my head in private against the wall
Denial thrives in hostile climates
Flat out lies climb chaos spires
As Rapunzel lets down your tires
I start fights in my own head
Got doggy bags stuffed full of tappers
I take ′em home to feed the rugrats
And then set fire to your maracas

Redeemer
You had your fun
Now you're clinging to your rosaries like a nun
Redeemer
You stole the sun
Now you′re orbiting the bullshit of all damage done


Blind by his truth
Blind by his truth
Fucking in the desert's dusky hue
I give to you this final gift
Lift you up like elephants sniffing peanuts
In all the shops can′t shift
And sifting through the shells I lick my dust dry rusty lips

Before taking one last whiff
In the pips of anywhere other than this
Call Herr Schmidt and ask him
"Herr Schmidt, is this what we aim for?

'Cause you usually have a word up your sleeve
For feelings that we have no name for"
