Tally Hall — Sacred Beast Demo

[Verse 1: Joe Hawley] We live in the service of the king Almighty in control of everything As the queen decides who lives and dies Tonight we will sing [Refrain] Love was never more than simple (whistling) Easiest thing [Verse 2: Zubin Sedghi] Our mission is to slay the sacred beast Who has come to claim our innocence at least And though those who went before us won't return For the feast [Refrain] We'll be riding high and swinging (whistling) 'til we're deceased [Bridge: Joe Hawley] First of all we know that we are dying for our lives Wanting for aught and no surprise So there will need to be a war for love Fight in spite of death above Biting the hand that feeds its own demise [Verse 3: Rob Cantor] We thought we had found a separate peace Thought all our pain had finally been released But as long as it's alive we'll never rest In one piece [Refrain] Meanwhile, may it join in whistling (whistling) [Bridge: Joe Hawley] Worst of all it knows its only truth is made of lies Wanting for aught and ever-wise So there will need to be a compromise Easier to close our eyes See the other sides of our disguise [Verse 4: Joe Hawley] We thought love was only nice or mean Perhaps it's something vaguely inbetween [Outro] So while neighbors fight to paint their yards The best shade of green We'll be in the garden going (whistling)
