Repel (ft bsides230)

[Verse 1] Grab the lead, grab the stone Hold the line with skin and bone Crawl the alley, check the sight Spill their oil into the night Throw the torch, break the tread Leave an iron giant dead Tear the wire off the wall Make 'em pay for every fall [Chorus] Push 'em back, hit the teeth Drag 'em to the mud beneath Stack the bodies in the street Never sound the full retreat Rifles crack, hammers fall Blood against the plaster wall We take an inch, they take a mile Repel! Repel! [Verse 2] Spent casings on the floor Kicking in another door Smoke is thick and barrel red Stepping over brothers dead Scrap iron flying in the air Trapped inside a wolf's snare Rattle chains, load the rack Ain't no way we're stepping back [Chorus] Push 'em back, hit the teeth Drag 'em to the mud beneath Stack the bodies in the street Never sound the full retreat Rifles crack, hammers fall Blood against the plaster wall We take an inch, they take a mile Repel! Repel! [Bridge] (Violent dead-stop mutes, heavy dragging groove) Count the rounds, count the cost Every single corner lost Breathing soot, spitting gray We won’t live to see the day Stand your ground, strike the match Trip the wire, drop the latch! [Guitar Solo / Hard Gated Breakbeat Breakdown] [Chorus] Push 'em back, hit the teeth Drag 'em to the mud beneath Stack the bodies in the street Never sound the full retreat Rifles crack, hammers fall Blood against the plaster wall We take an inch, they take a mile Repel! Repel! [Outro] (Bass violently cuts out to vacuum on each beat) Trip the wire. Drop the latch. Take an inch. They take a mile. Repel. Repel.
