Bleed Forever
Cloud upon cloud cries poison rain Slate, hair, roads glisten again There's no console It's no game We were going places It's such a shame Bleed forever Seep from the stones Bleed forever Silence our tones Bleed forever Mould us like clay For everything we have is taken away The gurning gunrunner wakes from his sleep With no remorse for those who kick by his feet Skin care consultant calls the police But from this dungeon There is no release Bleed forever Seep from the stones Bleed forever Silence our tones Bleed forever Mould us like clay For everything we had has wasted away Fate decided Rubbing your eyes Men in tailcoats absorb the cries Milk the scapegoat Milk it dry Put it down And watch it die Bleed forever Seep from the stones Bleed forever Bleed to the bones Bleed forever Burn us away For everything we had has wasted away Everything we knew has wasted away Notes
8/ Bleed Forever 'Bleed Forever' is about the radiation that descended all over North Wales after Chernobyl, and the general proliferation of nuclear power stations in the area. There was a huge increase in leukaemia in children and some livestock are still not allowed to be sold on the market. There's even a Geiger counter feel to Cian's synth on this song! This was recorded pretty much live. Often during a live take I sing the wrong lyric, so the line about the skin care consultant ended up staying in. I suppose we didn't care necessarily if it was in tune or not just as long as it sounded human. I suppose it's about how you don't see radiation and how you don't really know if it's affecting you or not. And how it could wipe whole cultures out. Another invisible, or 'phantom', power source.
