Algiers
Irreversible Damage
[Refrain: Franklin James Fisher]
Time is over
Time is over
[Verse 1: Franklin James Fisher]
Time to go, should have known
I seen it inside and outside time
A seven-headed harlot wrapped in scarlet with ten horns
Decked out in filth and gold
Abomination and fornication untold
Now see the harlot stumble
Yeah, you see but you don’t hear me though
While the executioner’s gotchu laughin’ (Hahahahaha)
“Look at all this to desire while I set your house on fire”
You should be screaming out and ringing
Like the alarm that you ignore
It’s too late to change the time now
Too late to keep the past from coming
[Chorus: Zack de la Rocha, Franklin James Fisher]
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you
Boarded up, seen enough (Don’t wake me up ‘cause I’m dreamin')
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you (Don’t wake me up)
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you
Boarded up, seen enough (Don’t wake me up ‘cause I’m dreamin')
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you (Don’t wake me up)
[Refrain: Franklin James Fisher]
Time is over
Time is over
[Verse 2: Franklin James Fisher]
Irreversible damage, undeniable
Something real has shifted in the air, it’s unsurvivable
Don’t take the bait my friend, elected your electric chair
Now you extend your hand
Morning star, exploding Sun
The light before the dawn
Left to right and shape and sound will crumble one by one
Four dimensions, falling over when the angle change
Don't be surprised or shook when The Accuser calls your name
[Verse 3: Zack de la Rocha]
This a relapse, what it be, God?
No rehab for my jihad, a rapture in a grief storm
Time on my neck and it be gone and my peace torn in an alley
Abandoned and murdered then reborn in a beat form
Breathless, I exhale then rearm and the spin won’t stop
Nazi pop opera, they found a flock
Now I’m lookin for a road to block
Padlocks, pants an’ socks
A place to wash this pain off
And the mirror cracks in a face off
And I’ve seen enough
[Chorus: Zack de la Rocha, Franklin James Fisher]
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you
Boarded up, seen enough (Don’t wake me up ‘cause I’m dreamin')
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you (Don’t wake me up)
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you
Boarded up, seen enough (Don’t wake me up ‘cause I’m dreamin')
Catacombs will watch you fold
Boarded up, seen enough
Catacombs will wrap around you (Don’t wake me up)
[Refrain: Franklin James Fisher]
Time is over
Time is over
