lyrics

At the trial no one would speak
Vehement silence, porcelain teeth
Eminence rusting, a gavel to sire
With the press donning the sheets
Fettered to dead pan punditry
Herding the snakes with their lanyards afire
The judge with his scythe in hand
Quick with the noose, covet the necks
Smoke dissertations/repititions of methadone whims
In a flax cowl and cloak
Garrote affixed, hustling smoke
Gnashing his fangs of black glass between hymns
Suffocate in the wet tourniquet of his crippling will
Damned to choke on this sentence like razor blade vengeance
All the veins gone constrict, a pine box with the knees shattered still

Blot with powder to cake this disease, but the mask knows
Hunting, seeking
Hoodwink privilege, honor among thieves as the plot grows
Silt and sedition/sifting through whispers in black on black signs

With the monks cutting the pills
Methadrine lust, cruciform thrills
Lager for sale at the naming of names
Yellow press fatten the kill
Zealot shrink wrapped cellophane wills
Red are the hands of malevolent blame
The tracks of this cavalcade
Blood on the hooves, hair in the wheels
Smote revelations of charges unjust
With the curs manning the whips
Lidocaine barbs, benzedrine quips
Grinding the pearls of the truth into dust
Suffocate in the tin iron lung of his crippling whims
Damned to choke on this fusion of lead and collusion
With the truth derelict, a pine box sealed and clawed from within

Blot with powder to cake this disease, but the mask knows
Hunting, seeking
Hoodwink privilege, honor among thieves as the plot grows
Silt and sedition/sifting through whispers in black on black signs
