Wild-eyed and tight fisted, I'm fused to the bone
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal - (Crashing on Hyksos)
The tourniquet turns - (Mount passing God fear)
Society's creation - (Tip of his finger)
Pole-axed out and burnt - (They're spying his throne)
I stand contemplating, reacting alone
Impaled with betrayal - (Crashing on Hyksos)
The tourniquet turns - (Mount passing God fear)
Society's creation - (Tip of his finger)
Pole-axed out and burnt - (They're spying his throne)
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance, is this all there is
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Faithless continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered
He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world
But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world
But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless
His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
Solo ( Glenn ) [ 3:31 - 3:53 ]
Impaled with betrayal
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt
The tourniquet turns
Society's creation
Pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Now he's stained class
Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just
A stained class king
Solo ( Glenn ) [ 4:34 - 4:54 ]
