the enemy of the world,
our greatest defeat,
slave warfare,
our wings are almost dry and free,
absorbing violence [pain],
punishing pain,

places, the world, enemy],
nightmare babies, fire gods,
speaking of dream time serpants,
and walking with the elder dead,
fear me mortal [fear me],
fear me,
feed my disease,
feed my disease [the taste of fear in the seventh phase of the disease],
and in tiny little houses,
on tiny little streets [everythings normal, everythings not ok, it’s normal],
voices raise and[as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me],
fear is alive [as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me],
and laughter,
he’s knows tolerance [don’t forget me],
she only knows lonliness [not you, not you, not you],
and in my blackness of sleep,
savages dance and scream,
but only truth is suffering,
bleeding like embryos [but only truth is suffering],
starving with dreams [life, blood],
you, single cell are commerse,
whoa, what happened to you last night?
you’ve given up without a fight,
and learned the words thay say receit,
you killed the flower that blossoms in the night,
smothered and crushed,
rage gives way to a little giggle and sudden blush,

mama? can you smell my poor veins?],
infected with the good disease,
intellect, rebellion,
finding the need in every single one,
…of you,
what’s a matter you don’t like it when i touch you?
come here,
don’t run, don’t run,
hand me babies and nightmare gods,
i will shed my skin [but i can’t get his sins off of me],
he prefers pain to pretty,
death to daughter,
to the shivering creature that lay beneath him,
i will not be want you want me to be,
i will not be want you want me to be [nothings changed, go away, go away],
people are evil and girls hate each other,
oh great devour of the dead,
i will know my demons names,
i will conquer them,
i will rise [rise],
i will…fight,
why?
coming…
salvation…
this is my holy war,
we come to you like desert warriors,
fresh from the cool dew of night,
in a sea of odour,
in a tapestry of pain,
absorbing violence,
feasting on hopelessness,
expand your mind,
expand your mind,
this is our time to shine [our time to shine, our time for justice],
and out of the ashes,
only the holy will rise,
sweet paper messiah [die],
sweet paper messiah,
how i sacrifice you, i sacrifice you [save me, save me],
dear, sweet paper messiah [save me, save me, save me, save me],
my offering,
my suffering [i speak to you on behalf of all of mankind],
whatever you need,
what…ever you need,
whatever you…
whatever you need,
unite,
messiah,
me…
