“Zenith,” the fourth track from bank pain’s concept album The Long Defeat, paints a picture of a stealth mission conducted in the heights of society, right under their posh noses (or, in keeping with the My Little Pony-derivative lore, their posh muzzles).
“Zenith” first appeared as the fourteenth...
[Verse 1]
Steep climb, tight on time, let’s be fashionable
Adjust your eyes to the lives of the untouchable
Top of the line, by design, ‘cause this here is the high life
Dress up in crooked camouflage, strut your stuff
Take it in stride, hold your head high, keep your chin up
Pinch your nose, close your eyes, ‘cause we here in the high life
[Chorus]
Let them drink and be merry
From the inside, we break it down (brеak it down, break it down...)
Soon the landslide will carry thеm, bury them
In the ground, yeah we’ll tear it down (tear it down, tear it down...)
[Bridge]
We’ve come this far, there’s no giving up
The sun will rise, the sun will rise
Nightmares have held us for long enough
The sun will rise, the sun will rise
[Verse 2]
Slurring voices and noises, rich and pretty
Without a care, debonair - almost makes you pity
How they don’t know, don’t know, don’t know, all they know is high life
Depart the mix, watch your six, keep it casual
We’ll hit them fast while they’re laughing at their jewels
And they’ll regret, regret, regret, that they called us low-lives
[Chorus]
Let them drink and be merry
From the inside, we break it down (break it down, break it down...)
Soon the landslide will carry them, bury them
In the ground, yeah we’ll tear it down (tear it down, tear it down...)
