O'Brother

The Great Release
A slip of tonguethese words fall like an avalancheand I won't be ignoredMy lungs expireThe water's getting deeper andI can't hold in my breath.So hear me nowThis distance is quite simply too muchto take in at once.My lungs expireThe water's getting deeper andI can't hold in my breath.Malice on your breathYour trembling hands speak of severed tiesin a language that not even God could divide.So lay your weary, burdened head upon my side.Sleep will bring you close to God.It will bring you close.Swallow them down, it burns like fireYour words are the devil's machine.Keep your breath, you're leaking lies.Wait now on approaching sleep.The death of day, the great release.SongtexteWhere words cannot breed like diseasefrom lepers' rotting hands and feet.Swallow them down, it burns like fire.Your words are the devil's machine.Keep your breath, you're leaking lies.Like the cracks in the teeth of the beast.Swallow them down, it burns like fire.Your words are the devil's machine.So watch closer now as I slip andI swallow my tongue.
