The Hounds Songtext
von The Protomen

Tonight the streets are red, the lights are blue and blinding
No sign of the Good Doctor
But the siren′s wail and whining
Tell us he'll be found

I can almost hear the hounds

What kind of man builds a machine to kill a girl?
No, he did not use his hands like a smart man, he used a tool
But just the same!
How can you question who′s to blame?
(What was her name?)
It doesn't matter
Now, listen
The Good Doctor has to pay!

When I say he was a monster
When I set fire to his name
It does not matter where you hear it from
Whether truth or lies, it gets said all the same


Whatever's on the table plays!

There is a flame that I′ve been fanning
There is a fire waiting to catch
There is a hell that has been building from the moment we first met

If there ever was a time
If there ever was a chance
To undo the things I′ve done
And wash these bloodstains from my hands

It has passed and been forgotten
These are the paths that we must take
Cause you and I, Tom, we are men
And we can bend and we can break

If you think that you can run
If you think that you can stand
Well, you forget who turned this city on
You forget who plugged this city in!

They'll not switch it off again

One by one, they′re tuning in
