Doldrum Sentinels Lyrics

King Goat Doldrum Sentinels

Long are the hours of the evening
Whereas there used to be peace
Between the cracks it is seeping
The filth that cannot be cleaned out

A cool breeze, a dark sky
A short walk to nowhere
And nothing appeals, and nowhere seems safe
Just pulling at strands, slowly unraveling

So, This is a taste of the untrodden way
Stretching into the night and beyond

There is just one remedy to an ill like this
But a howling threnody, from nowhere, tells you how it was missed

And the Doldrum Sentinels, watching in the dark
As they claw and they scrape, they will laugh as they take to the last

Calm, calm
Calmly selecting the best of my memories
All, for
All for a fantasy cause
Believe, leave
Oh, did I mention this brief contravention of
Mind, mines
Digs to the core of the soul
Run, run
Time is elapsing and you're not reacting at
All, stall
Stalling will buy you no more
Fear, fear
The one motivation to bring you salvation from
Death, death
Oh well, it will come to us all
Long, long are the hours
No longer ours
After the evening
No halcyon sleep
Placid release
Cannot be found
Try blocking it out
Terror and doubt
They will control your
Fate, Dragging below
All that you know
To the core of the world
