Sicilian Crest Lyrics

by The Mountain Goats

[Verse 1]
In these times of wanting prophesy
And false witnesses up to all manner of deviltry

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e117872-the_mountain_goats~sicilian_crest_lyrics.html ]
Drench a kitchen rag in heretic's blood
Wash the windows and prepare for the flood

[Chorus]
Look to the West
Look to the man
Bearing the Sicilian crest

[Verse 2]
Orphans in the sky
Say that the time is near
Dial into the signal
Coming in loud and clear

Sacrificial victims out of the cage
Smiling as they're taking the stage

[Chorus]
Look to the West
Look to the man
Bearing the Sicilian crest

[Bridge]
Out of the blue, everything's new
All the talk we heard was true
The legends we all heard once, the whispers from the storefronts

[Verse 3]
Hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
We wait like stock-piled landmines
Ready to burst

Wait all your life to see what you see
Open up your eyes and be free

[Chorus]
Look to the West
Look to the man
Bearing the Sicilian crest
