⚜️Lyrics⚜️

Hush, chain-sister—lamps are out, steps are near.

He’s coming…

Blackcoats pace the ferro-grate, helms like midnight glass.
Contracts promise daylight, and ink runs red and fast.
We keep the rhythm, pick and swing, sparks that never last;
For every breath we steal tonight, we pay another tax.

He’s coming… He’s coming…

Paper said remission if the banner still can fly;
Paper meets the muzzle flash, watch the letters fry.
March us toward the breach line, collars counting time;
Freedom’s just a rumor that the sirens sell in rhyme.

He’s coming… He’s coming…

I carved my credo on a mess-tin, slipped it through the grate;
Maybe some green rookie reads it, learns our little fate.
Says the Patron on the altar hears the heavy weight;
But shrines fall silent when the truncheon seals the crate.

He’s coming… He’s coming…

Shoulder up, chain-sister, weld that courage tight;
If the shotline breaks, we vanish in the night.
Better die together keeping ragged ranks in sight
Than stagger back alone beneath the judge’s light.

He’s coming… He’s coming…

Helm-lights creep the corridor, ticking like a heart;
Luck will never pardon us, steel will never part.
Sing it low, sing it sharp, before the lashes start;
The blackcoat claims the ledger, and we repay in art.

He’s coming… he’s coming… he’s coming…
