Overlord - Keep It From The Baby Lyrics

There's a cruel, cruel world outside these walls
Where they won't care if you're there at all
They can't love you half as much as we do
We'll keep it from the baby

Where oh where has our little one gone?
Hiding under the bed when visitors come
They can't know you half as well as we do
We'll keep it from the baby

Danger is waiting for any who try
To become entangled in our family line

There's a cold, cold world outside this one
Where the things they do can't be undone
They won't want you for long
Should they say they want you at all
We'll keep it from the baby

If I can't save you
No one can save you

Overlord - Monsters Of The Gowanus Lyrics

Monsters, come out
From under the bridge
Monsters, you're of use
Now all is forgiven
The torches and pitchforks
Are garlands and bouquets
Monsters, we come back to you
Always

And if we pardon you for this
Even we can get away with it
Recenter the mean until we agree
We believe the fight was even
The reasons are no less true
But they're just less new
And they want to fight
More than we want to be right

As Lady Evil said to Patient Zero
(and to Fifteen, and Fifty, and so on):
"A patient evil always beats a lazy good
And good is always lazy
You'll come back to me
Always

And if you pardon me for this
Even you can get away with it
And I will fight
More than you want to be right"

But
The Monsters of the Gowanus
The Monsters of the Gowanus
Are still monsters

Overlord - Battle Hymn Of The Romantic Lyrics

 They're marching as if off to war
In lockstep and ever-so-sure
That life and limb are all that can be lost
With no regard for the human cost
The hopeless and tempest-tossed
Are trampling hearts
Where the sour grapes are stored
"Oh! Send them to me!"

And oh the bloody trail that's left behind
"Darling, we can live together
And together we can die"

New verse to the old song and dance
Your hook's so catchy even you get snagged
"We're wounded identically
So let's be Team Misery!"
Tomorrow's foes are today's allies
So try their futures on for size
And why do what's right when you can just apologize?

And oh the maddened crowd left far behind
"Darling, we will live together
And together we will die"

For you only know the truth value
Of your words when they're repeated back to you
Now how to dispose of yet another unworthy fool?
"I deny your suffering!
Your fight isn't mine!"

So add star to your oblong cloth
Another skull to your fuselage
Because bragging rights will always trump moral wrongs
For boys queued at your golden door
It's hard to believe each of these
Was a human being.

And oh, the salted fields you leave behind
"Darling, we can't live together
Cause together I'd just die"
It's death by a thousand cuts
Where one was more than enough!
Then off she goes!
She's gone forever!
The lie is marching on!
