  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Polycarbonate plastic disc, magically encoded with music that can only be read by lasers. I still don't even understand how they work. I know that compact discs are OVER, but come on! It's presented in a glossy digipak, and it's even plastic-wrapped, to give you that nostalgic "walking-home-from-a-Sam-Goody-in-the-1990s" feeling.

lyrics

I am forced to dwell among
Fiery beasts with tongues as sharp as arrows
And I am taught from very young
A man is where his ashes fall
And when I storm a foreign beach
I come back a hero for my service
But when I turn the other cheek
No one pins my medal on
My arms can bend a bow of bronze

I am the son of sword and gun
A brother of the bomb
You train my hands for battle
But you preach to me in psalm

I was pulled into life
No one stopped to ask me what I wanted
And I got stolen tonight
By the very thought of it
Blessed are the merciful
Who cut off their own hands to stop their sinning
And throw his yoke from off their necks
And beat their spears to pruning shears
My arms can bend a bow of bronze

I am the son of sword and gun
A brother of the bomb
You train my hands for battle
But you preach to me in psalm

(I was pulled into life)

Throw his yoke from off your necks
And beat your spears to pruning shears
Your arms can bend a bow of bronze

I am the son of sword and gun
A brother of the bomb
You train my hands for battle
But you preach to me in psalm

When I go to sleep at night
I pray for a better sign
A clear one to set us right
And I wake up in the dark
