Gethsemane 04:25
Wake up my brothers The wicked hour arrives Farewell my brothers I'll greet you after the night Hello my brothers You come at me with your swords Farewell my brother You're killing me with your kiss
2.
We're burning under city skies We slumber here beneath the night With forever in our sights Straining to see the fading light We'll dine with princes, paupers, and thieves We'll drink with harlots, whores, and kings 'Cause in the end we're the least of these For now we wait here in between As we cross these dying seas Here where even cynics dream Straining to see the fading beams We'll dine with princes, paupers, and thieves We'll drink with harlots, whores, and kings 'Cause in the end we're the least of these
3.
She trades her charm for cheaper things She's got no time for diamond rings She fakes her way through everything Feigning a smile from ten to three She lays with whoever pays She loves whoever gives enough They come and go as they please She fakes her love for a fee They burn her up like gasoline She gives them everything they see She lays with whoever pays She loves whoever gives enough We sons and daughters of Gomer's breed We live like slaves though we are free Our eyes are fine but we can't see We keep believing fallacies We lay with whoever pays We love whoever gives enough

Atmosphere 04:13
You fell into a broken love But we built these towers from the mud And we feel something over us And we feel it falling over us It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere They've made such a mess of us But we built these castles from the dust And we feel something over us And we feel it falling over us It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere, we feel it everywhere It's in the atmosphere It's in the atmosphere
5.
Can you find me here where sins and songs collide? Can you find me here while it's bright behind my eyes? Can you find me here before we're crushed beneath the tide? Can you find me here while it's bright beyond the light?
6.
We're breathing and feeling but not alive We're fading and sleeping but not alive We've done this, made this mess but we're not done We're waking, remembering who we are We're fire, bright burning fire Burning down the hades gates We're rain, hard falling rain Falling hard on winter's pain We're blood, bright crimson blood Bleeding hatred into love We're death, unrelenting death With our fire against the grave The grave is retreating so come alive The dark is receding so come alive We've done this, made this mess and we're not done We're waking, remembering who we are We're fire, bright burning fire Burning down the hades gates We're rain, hard falling rain Falling hard on winter's pain We're blood, bright crimson blood Bleeding hatred into love We're death, unrelenting death With our fire against the grave

about

PRINCES, PAUPERS, THIEVES is about trudging through the blurry lines between rich & poor, good & evil, hope & despair. The album asks questions about self-worth, identity, and the ways in which humanity cheapens itself.
