[Intro]
I WAS sick -- sick unto d**h with that long agony; and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me
[Verse]
I've awoken, eyes are open, no sky is shown, and
Thighs are broken, arms tied, and toes bent, mind soaked in
Delirium, I fear it's him, d**h with a serious hymn
Problems in the world today include Syria, Flint
Footsteps near, man in white, in his hand is my life
He points above with his anointed glove, and like a handy knife
Whoosh! Something nearly slices me in two
It swings like a metronome, the plight I face is true
Back, and forth, it hacks, and tore some men apart
Can't be saved, I've got the core of Sin in heart
What can I do? I can't escape this torment
The mechanical beast has come to rape the who*e's men
Hated before trends, sedated before the end
With the ray of light, spray the fright that's forming in
Will I be spared, or tossed into despair, son?
Cracked open the shell of the tortoise, and the hare won
Sound fair? Huh, I think I heard a noise
The wall's busting in, the sound of the Inquisition's burning joy
As my saviors stroll in, a piece of hope they holdin'
The pendulum stops swinging, ain't no more omens
[Outro]
There was a discordant hum of human voices! There was a loud blast as of many trumpets! There was a harsh grating as of a thousand thunders! The fiery walls rushed back! An outstretched arm caught my own as I fell, fainting, into the abyss. It was that of General Lasalle. The French army had entered Toledo. The Inquisition was in the hands of its enemies
