lyrics

Around the curls of the mustard gas
The latin slogs:
The foremost shall be last
The base shall be exalted

Saliva pools in a translucent mask
Every station a suicidal laugh
But humour can’t be faulted

For seeing what is there
Just bones and poison air
That smells to heaven

How did they get into you?
What did they take out of you?
What did they put you through?
What did they do to you?
What did they do?

You’re the only one who can stem the tide
The only one who can scent the rancid hide
Of everybody like me

They starve and taunt the dogs
The jury lets them off
‘cause nurture can’t be faulted

How did they get into you?
(How dark the blinders)
What did they take out of you?
(How will you find her)
What did they put you through?
(How fine the grinder)
What did they do?
(Nothing appears)
What did they do to you?

Underneath the chaos, calligraphic lines
Painter of villains is brushing out our eyes
How will you ever find it?

The baton downbeats, the mother scream
Just another scene from a rank killer’s dream
There’s nothing behind it
