Alone With Jessie at the End of the World (The Euphoria of Ritualized Violence)

Sitting with this one man
And he says to me that he understands
"It's hard to admit that the world around you
The one that spins
Is the sane one."
It's the sane one

I go home to Jessie and say
"Jessie, is it true?
Are we alone out here
You and I and the lizards?"
And Jessie, Jessie says to me
"How could we ever be alone
When we've got each other?"

Jessie smiles at me and takes my hand
And we turn to face the horizon where the mountains
Obscure that flat line that you can see from everywhere else
The shadows crawl across the desert
But I'm not scared because I know, I know
I know that my girl and I will shortly save the world

Jessie holds the sacrificial instrument
And she draws blood from her hand
And a pentagram in the sand
And we pray
For a quick end to our lives
And Jessie says
"Are you ready?
Are you ready to die
For your cause
For the message?"
A thrust of the blade
And Jessie says

"This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die

Yeah
Yeah

I can hear the crowds from the town getting closer
And Jessie stirs in her sleep
And she wakes, with sweat on her brow
And I say, "Honey, where will we go now?"

And Jessie laughs through the tears on her cheeks
And she says, "Babe, don't you already know?"
She takes my hand
The sky is black, and filled with smoke
And Jessie says, "Are you ready to go?"

This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
This is how we die
