Dogs May Rise (Mixed Metaphors)
Grizzled dogs of darkness come in packs
They bare their teeth, so mean and black
And growl and roar across the sky
They come in packs, and we close our eyes
No peace in dreams, the pitter-pat
Of paws all 'cross the tarmac
And as we sleep, they tear about -
The pitter-pat can leave no doubt
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And on the bleakest country night
You'll hear them howl at moonlight
And chance a walk across the fen
The dogs will find you there again
A boggy grave to sink beneath
And look above: a sea of teeth
A constellation all a-fang
Wave after wave of hounds there hang
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
They bare their teeth, so mean and black
And growl and roar across the sky
They come in packs, and we close our eyes
No peace in dreams, the pitter-pat
Of paws all 'cross the tarmac
And as we sleep, they tear about -
The pitter-pat can leave no doubt
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And on the bleakest country night
You'll hear them howl at moonlight
And chance a walk across the fen
The dogs will find you there again
A boggy grave to sink beneath
And look above: a sea of teeth
A constellation all a-fang
Wave after wave of hounds there hang
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
And though the dogs may rise
Keep your head above the water
Your head above the water now
