The Hum Drums - Maker/Breaker Lyrics

The air is thin, the night is quiet
You have reprieve from my design
So take a seat, sign on the line and enjoy the ride
I have a name that some malign
The reasons which some people cry
Then go to war, come home to die - an alibi

It all seems tangible and I know why
I hold life's mandible, avert your eyes
Children running - I name their price
The wheels keep turning on the road to
Meet your Maker/Breaker

I'm in your homes, I'm in your streets
I lay with the dead, nuzzling their cheeks
The art of war
The art of lying
Are you scared?

It all seems tangible, and I know why
I snap life's mandible, look in my eyes
Children burning - I named their price
World stops turning

Meet your Maker/Breaker
