You’re a beacon, you’re a symbol

Blood on your hands, blood on your teeth

I would end the whole world for you

Thinking of you, unendingly

And maybe I’m obsessed

Maybe I’m a heretic

Maybe I’m dead wrong

Maybe I’m a fanatic

But what I am is not what I was meant to be

We have to help each other if we want to be free

———

So be our anarchy

And be our litany

Be our curse

And be each verse

Be our liberty

And be equality

Be all of us

Together

Be the soaring wing’s feather

Be the rolling hills’ heather

Be eternity

———

You’re an anthem, you’re a hymnal

Hate in your eyes they’ll never see

You’re a hero, you’re a child

And you’ve consumed all I could be

And maybe I’m a mess

But your word is prophetic

Maybe I’m not strong

Maybe they’re just pathetic

But what you are is not what they will ever see

As they commend each other but we know it truly

———

So be our anarchy

And be our litany

Be our curse

And be each verse

Be our liberty

And be equality

Be all of us

Together

Be the soaring wing’s feather

Be the rolling hills’ heather

Be eternity

———

Every day every night I’m setting myself and the world aflame

In frantic creative destruction they cannot tame

Every day every night I’m setting myself and the and the world aflame

For magic that it is in every time that I hear your name

Every night every day I am doing the things that cannot be done

In frantic creative destruction that’s from the One

Every night every day I am doing the things that cannot be done

For the hope that one day you’ll tell us all that you’ve won

———-

So be our anarchy

And be our litany

Be our curse

And be each verse

Be our liberty

And be equality

Be all of us

Together

I’d bleed anything to tell you the infinity you are
