Biography:
Destroyer is a Canadian rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia fronted by singer-songwriter Dan Bejar and formed in 1995. Destroyer songs are characterized by abstract, poetic lyrics and idiosyncratic vocals. The band's discography draws on a variety of musical influences, resulting in albums that can sound markedly distinct from one another; in Bejar's words, "That's kind of my goal: to start from scratch every time."
1996–2001
We'll Build Them a Golden Bridge, Destroyer's 1996 debut, is made up of sixteen lo-fi home-recordings.

Absolve, absolve, absolve
B G#m
We spent the better part of the day
B G#m E D#m C#m
Waiting for the wave to hit our side of town
It didn't
E
Absolve, absolve, absolve
B G#m
I washed my hands of the stuff of legends
B G#m
And what news of the horizon?
B G#m E
I hear it's all just a horizontal myth
D#m C#m C#
So stop your cruising, start your criticizing, oh
C# D#m E
Indulge yourself for once, feel medium between them
B G#m
God damn, your eyes
B G#m C# D#m E
They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun
B G#m
And God damn, your eyes
B G#m C# D#m E
They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun

They just had to be twin prizes waiting for the sun

[Verse]
B
See them sporting those eagle iron-ons
E
You made me swear never to wear
G#m
Why did you spend the '90s cowering?
E
Why did you spend the '90s cowering?
B
And they're singing those inspirationals
E
You penned back in '72
G#m
And the hotels of choice are now toasting your voice
E B
As the spas ring out, "What's another word for sacrament?"
[Interlude]
E - G#m - E
[Verse]
B
The world woke up one day to proclaim
E
"Thou shalt not take part in, or make, bad art"
B
In these tough, tough times
Friends like mine would rather dash than dine
E
On the bones of what's thrown to them
F#
When a wave of her wand has us back at the pond
E
Taking notes for our crooked underground
B - E (Repeat as many times as needed)
[Verse]
B
The world woke up one day to proclaim
E
"Thou shalt not make or take part in the bad arts"
B
You see, the singer sold us out
E
The guitarist lost his clout on Life-Of-The-Mind Day
B
When signs become impure again
E
The crowd doesn't know where or when
B
To let it all hang out
Bloodlet yourself, street style
[Outro]
