Chains

In an empty room behind
Our father who art away
Them living by the knife
And staining inner light
Or burning for some sleep
In the branch of a hemlock tree
Where to stand up is to be free
For the dumb to speak
For the blind to see
And repeating all the while
Our father who art away
More then rivers to cross
More than stalks to climb up
And more than talk can say
We’re forging our own chains
So nobody can escape
Hellfire is gathering
Chains today
Chains you to me
What I see

Fools are Gone
05:03

Smoke is pouring up black and blue
Rising sign of this kinda time
Sword and shield to plow behind
Mule down by the riverside
It’s happening today
Fools are gone they run away
Fools are gone away
The pass is narrow the air is thin
If you fall down baby you’re gonna die
And every murder you thought in your head
Flies out from your eyes
Just like rumors when they spread
Drag trouble in for the outside
The flame is raging to be fed
Rising signs
It’s happening today
Fools are gone they run away
Fools are gone away
Siren sound
Don’t study how
Come and drown me out
It goes round and round
Axes rising like a river
Don’t study how
Coming siren sound
The last good deal is out
The seeds are in the ground
The fools are gonna be forgiven
Come a death machine
Don’t study how
Come to save your life
It goes round and round
Axes rising like a river
The bridge is down
Come a siren sound
The seeds are in the ground
Fools are gonna be forgiven

Stone Love

My head is in the past
The one I’ve been is the place I am
A photograph
The world just turned her head
Smiled and turned again
The place I am
is getting dark again
It’ll never be the same
It’s never been this late today
Look out from a mountain
See the world on fire
Love has been forsaken
But it’s really not a crime
Don’t let it die
Stone love
Don’t let it die
Please help
I’ll take any kind
Find myself remembering
When you and me would do anything
To get a laugh
We’ll now I’m laughing behind the back
Of a photograph
Sad old photograph
The room is getting tired again
That’s the oldest one I’ve been
You can call me back
When you’re tired of where your at
More of England’s heartless rain
Could never lift the stain of love.
The tree leaves all point fingers
And anyone below is to blame
Production days are numbered
Just one thing remains here
Don’t let it die dear
Stone love
Don’t it it die
Please help
I’ll take any kind
Come on baby
Any kind

Land of the Blind
05:44

Came today
The threshold’s edge
Where the truth is a lie
Hollow faces
Wasteland lords
And the siren’s sighs
Begging please
Puppet man
Set down your line
Tomorrows gone
The place hopes all die
Here comes tonight
Dried brown and red
I might have hit my head
Because I lost some time
Came today
To the land of the blind
Rest your head
Go to sleep
No one is gonna believe
You shut your eyes
And it is your dream
The river is so deep
The marked one’s name
Has branded me
Start to shout
It don’t sound the same
The moon has gone to hide and weep
Can anyone hear me
The night got late
And then it turned brown and red
And the sirens sigh
Hollow faces
Demands are set
And the truth is a lie
Fools will pray
For better timing
And the see the sun shine again
Fools die anyway
In the land of the blind
The driving rain
The wet hot smoke
Has got me here below
Rest your head
Go to sleep
No one is gonna believe
And the house we shared
Was that a dream?
On the ridge
Hear the screaming
The night is white
The woods on fire
Somebody help me please

Boll weevil swarm arrives so high
Makes today look like tonight
Got a warm place for the winter time
Drinking flesh of fortunate sons
With the royal bloodline wine
It’s nice
Now’s the time if you’re gonna switch sides
Make today look like tonight
In the last good time to need a good friend
A long time wrong is to be a long way gone
It could be a cornerstone this time
Life was just right before it was done
The hour’s late but it ain’t gone
It could be a cornerstone

The hour’s late but it ain’t gone
It could be a cornerstone
Dawning
Time hangs down
A rusty wire
Rearranged me
Very likely to take
An awful time
To relate babe
But the morning will rise up free
And there’ll be a new light to see
Just like water over me
And the dawning ever after is free
I wish to be gone
Far away
Enough to find out
Some kind of time
That would be
The very last kind
Out of your mouth
And the morning will rise up free
And there’ll be a new light to see
Like the water over me
The dawning is free
Come on and be free

Outsider
04:45
|

Time walks straight
And it sways
Piling into latter days
I never had to wait
To put some blame on a passing face
Hate is a one way street
That a child is on the wrong way
But the place I’m trying to reach is far away
And the cost is getting high
You got to fly
I am the outsider
In the age of our self made
Lying heads of fallen state
No one mentioning the change of season
Or the killing floor of latter days
All praise to bold face thieves
Profits gained and loss of lives
And the place we’re trying to reach is getting farther
And the time it takes to leave is longer
But we’re getting stronger
I am the outsider
You can never find me
No you never can
I am the outsider

Never Ending
09:12

A shadow
Troubled thinking
Ten times as long
As the one your on
Right before the dawn
With no bell ringing
Seemed so
Never ending
But it’s time to leave
Nothing is to keep
And the warm look
Leaves the eye
All the same
Don’t turn away
It takes no time
for the smile to fade
I brought you
A jungle print bonnet
It’s Sunday now all the time
In a houseboat
Out on a limb when
It seems so
Never ending
But it’s time to leave
Nothing is to keep
And the warm look leaves the eye
To make that face
If only one of us stayed
It’s much to late
For a public place
It’s time to leave
Nothing is to keep
The warm look leaves the eye
All the same don’t turn away
It takes no time for a smile to fade
All the same
I don’t want to keep you for too long
Just one more thing to say to you that’s all
No one here can finish this song
We only sing along

South Philly band Grocer has all the sly disaffection of classic ’90s indie rock in their wonderfully unruly songs.

Absolutely brilliant. Now you have something to suggest to those who "only listen to the first Skrewdriver album", and it's so much better.
