The Greater Than Symbol And The Hash Lyrics
New letters across chests emblazoned
You're rewarded with high-5s and embraces
Seating banks are ripped from the theatres
To build forts and to build defenses
In the streets millions gather
Ignite documents and get warm from the
Ink of the burning alphabet
One million buildings crumble
New characters are found in the rubble
Dip the pen in the new ink
So what you write you erase
The stems and the sharers decay
The notes all fall from the safe
And the thumbs of lines see that you're up
Keep the music repeated and repeated
Breaths in and out, anticipate a clicking sound
And the boots on the ground are removed
So the feet dance through the motions of encoding that sound
Analogue mechanisms whir
As a million pins punch tiny holes in reams of tape
And as it breaks a syntax deforms
New letters across chests emblazoned
You're rewarded with high-5s and embraces
Seating banks are ripped from the theatres
To build forts and to build defenses
The hammer beats the ribbons into a rhythm
The greater than symbol and the hash
Become the dot and the dash
You're rewarded with high-5s and embraces
Seating banks are ripped from the theatres
To build forts and to build defenses
In the streets millions gather
Ignite documents and get warm from the
Ink of the burning alphabet
New characters are found in the rubble
Dip the pen in the new ink
So what you write you erase
The stems and the sharers decay
The notes all fall from the safe
And the thumbs of lines see that you're up
Keep the music repeated and repeated
And the boots on the ground are removed
So the feet dance through the motions of encoding that sound
Analogue mechanisms whir
As a million pins punch tiny holes in reams of tape
And as it breaks a syntax deforms
New letters across chests emblazoned
You're rewarded with high-5s and embraces
Seating banks are ripped from the theatres
To build forts and to build defenses
The greater than symbol and the hash
Become the dot and the dash

New letters across chest emblazoned You're rewarded with high fives and embraces Seating banks are ripped from the theatres To build forts and to build defenses In the streets, millions gather Ignite documents and get warm from the Ink of the burning alphabet
One million buildings crumble New characters are found in the rubble Dip a pen in the new ink So as you write you erase The stems and the seraphs decay The notes all fall from the staves and the Dots and lines which mean that you repeat it Keep the music repeating and repeating
Breaths in and out anticipate A clicking sound and the boots on the ground Are removed so the feet dance through The motions of encoding that sound Analogue mechanisms whir As a million pins punch tiny holes In reams of tape and as it breaks A syntax deforms New letters across chest emblazoned You're rewarded with high fives and embraces Seating banks are ripped from the theatres To build forts and to build defenses
The hammer beat The ribbon to a rhythm The greater than symbol and the hash Become the dot and the dash
Just a few correction. 100% correct as it came straight from Calum.
'New characters that don't even rumble'
I think this should be 'New characters are found in the rubble'. It makes more sense in context...
