Swing
Battle-Ready Hearts: Unveiling the Brutal Truth in Parkway Drive's 'Swing'
Lyrics
This soul was born for battle
This soul was destined for conflict
My heart was built for war
My heart was constructed for battle
These eyes see through the lies
These eyes perceive deception
Filled with disgust
Filled with intense repulsion
Strip back the utopian rhetoric
Remove the idealistic speeches
And you'll find a sickness at the core
Revealing a sickness at the core
A septic carcass rotting out
A decayed carcass, decaying profoundly
Filled with disgust
Filled with intense repulsion
We are the dead
We are the lifeless
Empty lives, empty heads
Existence devoid of purpose, minds empty
Guilty is as guilty fucking does
Being guilty is evident through actions
Filled with disgust
Filled with intense repulsion
All we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
We only have falsehoods to believe in
All we have to choose is the right to obey
We only have the choice to conform
Pray this time will be our mark on history
Hope that this moment will define our place in history
When the shadow games and agendas
When deceitful strategies and hidden motives
Are wiped the fuck away
Are eradicated completely
There is no such thing as different shades of truth
No varying degrees of truth exist
It'a black or white, do or die
It's a stark choice, life or death
Filled with disgust
Filled with intense repulsion
You tie your noose with your lies but the world keeps turning
You construct your downfall with lies, but the world persists
"Swing low" we cry but the world keeps turning
We cry for salvation, but the world continues
Turning without you
Turning without your influence
It keeps turning without you
Continuing to turn without your presence
'Cause all we have to believe are the lies that they feed us
Because all we have are the lies they provide
Born for battle
Destined for conflict
All we have to choose is the right to obey
All we can choose is the obedience to authority
Built for war
Constructed for war
This was born for battle
This being was destined for conflict
My heart was built for war
My heart was constructed for war
Swing motherfuckers
Engage in conflict, defy the norms
End it
An imperative to end it
Built for war
Constructed for war
Built for fucking war
Constructed specifically for intense warfare
