lyrics

Victim of law, they spiked her telephone
Her past undreamt of, unwritten, unknown
The bandit who boasts of his innermost ghost
Speaks of forgiveness then proposes a toast:
"Please open the door, just name your price
We’re barefooted pilgrims; your life is a(d)vice
We’ll show you the Queens of Tyras, the banquets of Rome
And then the sparrows of Egypt will carry you home
For though children change and their gods decay
We'll show you tomorrow if you give us today
The flight of your tyrant, the night of our soul
Will undress the death and swallow it whole
Your kings move their lips, they wallow in word
Their meaning is stripped and nothing is heard
Yes, your hunger is splendid and noble and true
But your slaughter of lyres will not herald the new
What of the garlands we knitted our daughter?
Where are the gardens we fought for and brought her?
You're nailing the wrong snake to the stake
You're bitten and smitten and cannot escape
So, forgive me, forgive me, for my awful sin
I woke to your secrets and drunk all your gin
The man you crown saviour, I deem a thief
While I scream for love, you dream of relief
When I doubted my darkness, I sprouted two heads
And I lay deep in her heart begging for bread
It's you who sells nonsense disguised as the truth
Your hundred decisions preside as the proof
But your army of infants will abandon your cause
Because your rival, your friend will not sign her clause"
He knows what we cherish, he knows what we gave
You follow her footsteps, he'll spit on your grave
