The Closest One

Originally recorded on The Killing Swarm's A Lesson with Each Broken Bone (2008) Oh, want to be your everything Oh, been watching since the day you brought it Oh, is it unlawful to crave your life Oh, they're coming up from the sea Oh, they're raining in down from the sky Oh, want to take what you just realized was pure Mystery man I'm at your beck and call Simple math, magic, and circumstance I've been begging the masters for this post Can you hear the wolves? They've been singing of this dawn of hate and envy Been watching and waiting and praying for pain And that's the only thing that gets me up from my earthen tomb To do what you called me here for I'm not the chosen one I'm just closest one The only one in town Unlocked gates to fury brought the wrath Unanswered prayers led you to me Deliverance is mine and yours Oh, want to be your everything Oh, been living the life of the dead for far too long Far too long Can you hear the begotten? Screaming for aid in your time of need You're lucky to have me and the gifts I bring And that's the only thing that gets me up from my earthen tomb To do what you called me here for I'm not the chosen one I'm just closest one The only one in town Micah Robinson - Guitar Steve Murphy - Bass, Backing Vocals Nick Nunziata - Vocals John Makarewicz - Drums
