There Is No Year - Algiers

Now it’s two minutes to midnight, and they’re

Building houses of cards

It will spiral out until the day we all fall

While the enemy’s all around us, and he

Slowly tears us apart

It will spiral out until the day we all fall

We’re getting ready for the sound

This self-consuming contradiction

The more it turns the more we just deform

But either way, you can’t look in my dark room

To bloom like a rose in the mouth of a gun

We’re reaching out in order to get shot down

While the world around us just implodes

With new names for «God» and «country»

With new words for every song we sing

And it’s only to get shot down, hey

And it’s only to get shot

I don’t care if the whole world is burning, oh Lord (all men obey)

There’s certain things I forgot I should fear, hey (all men obey)

Keep on screaming till your kingdom crumbles (all men obey)

It won’t stop until I’m sure you hear, hey (all men obey)

I’m moaning on the floor for your forgiveness (all men obey)

But here they coming, the four winds blowing

And four horses, I hear 'em coming

Sh, we’re gonna start over there

And we’ll spiral out singing now

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot down

And it’s only to get shot
