letra de through a war - geordie greep

[lyrics taken from live performance at windmill brixton on 25/04/24]

tonight we’re gonna drink ’til the street sound like music
music is just noise
tonight we’re gonna drink ’til i look like hercules
come on, gather ’round, boys
come close, listen in

when it was 1862
we took our [?] after the war was through
we knew that we could take what was left
the city was ours
we built all the bridges
we built them on a cage

i was a natural leader, to whom [?]
i ruled around and a general’s call as i had the only gun
i fired warning shots that made children ick
i tortured all them surgеons, i ruled with an iron fist

but for you, my love, i have an only placе
the very first sight of you, i laid my eyes, so frustrate
for your touch, i’d have conquered every village in the land
i would of disemboweled myself just to hold your hand

i saw you up here, like a dream between trees
i knew i had to get you to come and live with me
but did you deceive? maybe so
but still i breathe for you alone
i put them in [?], i made them build a castle for me
and they built statue in the square
i made them carve my name on every piece of gold
i made them carve yours everywhere
on every tree, on every tree
on every drop of rain
i wanna feel the hole in your heart rip
a beating heart, just squeeze it hard ’til it burst
to feel its blood running down your wrist
to know you are god

have you ever seen a man beg for his life?
have you ever seen that kind of fear?
have you ever seen a man boiled alive?
have you seen him ride, and ride, and ride, and ride, and ride?
have you sat on a throne of [?]?
have you watched father and son fight to the death?
have you tasted human flesh?
have you had s-x with a bear?
have you seen a brain split in two?
then you know courage looks like
have you seen a woman give birth to a goat?
that’s what courage looks like
have you seen a boat function out of bones?
you know what betrayal is? you know what disrespect is?
you know how ungrateful all this is?
i’ll tell you all about it
oh, but you, my love, i could never blame
all the things they say are hearsay
you, my love, are [?]less, you will never die
you, my love, remain the apple of my eye

you gave me nothing, but an incurable disease
for which i’m so glad, you’ll always be with me
[?] your voice
[?] and shake your hand [?]
you’ve helped me lapse into unreason
you’ve helped me disintegrate
with this whiskey, you are with me, hot in my throat
you are, once again, [?] drink of your soul

betrayals to overthrow the man who gave you everything
disrespect just to blow up the city he built
ungrateful, he’s a savage who knows not his luck
i forgive them nothing, d-mn them all to h-ll
that’s how i spent my adolescence
[?]
