God this must, must be for certain if you are here Raise my world an ossuary staring through the gate wide-eyed Did you think I'd salivate and beg Don't sell me tones of liberation standing in a cage May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight Save your tears my child Take it, hold it, keep it, know We choose this suffering There they stand straining to scrutinize the sage String me up these soap box augers Seeking out the ways divined here from the citadel its claimed Serpents waiting in the shadows keep us from the dream May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight Save your tears my child Take it, hold it, keep it, know We choose this suffering I pushed the bu*ton and I pulled the trigger I k**ed our brothers and murdered our sisters I am the pattern the plague and the prison And I tore the wound and let it bleed May you find that in this sinister lapse we'll heal our sight Save your tears my child Take it, hold it, keep it, know We chose this suffering and we are not alone
