Safe and Sound Songtext
von A Fish in the River
Safe and Sound Songtext
Dance in clouds, beings of water
Desecrating their altar
Live in fear of waking to the sound
Of gunshots, sirens ravaging the town
They squeeze life in their jaws and
They seized violence, made it banal
In my apartment, I am safe and sound
Built on people forced under the ground
From my cashiers post
I saw you through the glass
Weightlessly lounging there
I was dying to ask
Have you yet killed a man?
Do you feel pleasure when
Kicking them off the bench?
Shoving them in a van
Through that expensive mask
Can you still smell the fog?
With my boot on your head
Will you beg like a dog?
You will look up and see
People wild and free
People who don′t need you
People finding their peace
Desecrating their altar
Live in fear of waking to the sound
Of gunshots, sirens ravaging the town
They squeeze life in their jaws and
They seized violence, made it banal
In my apartment, I am safe and sound
Built on people forced under the ground
From my cashiers post
I saw you through the glass
Weightlessly lounging there
I was dying to ask
Have you yet killed a man?
Do you feel pleasure when
Kicking them off the bench?
Shoving them in a van
Through that expensive mask
Can you still smell the fog?
With my boot on your head
Will you beg like a dog?
You will look up and see
People wild and free
People who don′t need you
People finding their peace
