Mutilation, stretching while breaking on the wheel,
Tied down spread eagle on an iron bar breaks each limb.
Soothing the crowd's thirst for misery,
Cheers of approval following each scream.
Remove the broken body,
Spectators in wait of the ultimate torment,
Slow death by burning at the stake.
Tearing skin from the flesh every blow must hurt,
Strucki n the throat not deat yet body to be burnt.
In endless agony, for all the accusers to see.
Wires drawn tightly around the fingers until they become
one solid mass separated again by wedges others sawn
in half bound to the framework with thin cords wrapped
three times around the limbs poles inserted between the
boards gradually turned lines enter the skin
slowly drawing the arms together while coughing up
blood both shoulders dislocated removed while the bones
are reset ribs and sternum fractured losing consciousness
Set on display for the public to see so they will
know the fate of those who would do wrong relieved
from the torture the wretched body encaged and hung
alive in chains lack of food and water enhancing the
weakened state forced to stand by a neck shackle or
suffocate blistered and burnt from the sun infected
weeping wound insects have found and feed upon
the unprotected body disease has filled to weak to stand
slowly suffocates,body remains displayed while birds
begin removing the flesh bones become brittle from the
hrash elements tar soaked clothing remains on the body
still swaying encaged for one thousand days then removed
and given to the family,the cage prepared for the next
guest
hoisted up awaiting a slow death crowds gather to witness
Restrained fastened to a plank outside world cutoff from
witnessing the judgement
Set forth upon thee cloth placed over the mouth eyes roll
back blood rushes to the
Head consciousness fading continuous stream of water
poured in forcing the material down
The throat cloth removed and set to start again while
uncontrollably choking
Head dropped downward with a struggling force swallowing
up the breath from all screaming
And pleading clamping the lips together verdrinken mouth
reopened with an iron and
Set in place then sensation of drowning being a
suffocating pain water reingorging
Itself quickly flows choking the groans for help
From the rapid expansion body distorted and swollen
Burning for blasphemy cries of the dying silenced by
applause in the name of christianity church officials
parading limbless victims through the streets branded
and maimed stripped to the waist wearing only their
garments of shame laughter from the audience grows as
the hanged defecate innards removed slowly to increase
the pain heads beaten with hammers knee cape
pulverized the lungs choked with burning excrement a
celebration of death by witness others hung by
the wrists amputating both legs cauterizing the wounds
Carried from whence you came drawn upon
a hurdle to the place of execution led upon
the blood-soaked platform lying amongst
scattered limbs while beaten mercilessly
children hung by their ankles with throats cut
heads later removed and placed in a cauldron
parboiled for preservation tar sparking and
glowing entrails blazing blood and limbs boiling
bound and gagged awaiting further mutilation
ears removed and nailed to a post butchering
in gods name stomach cut open bowels pulled
out tied with a string heart fastened so the last
The blessed virgin opens her arms to thee on her bosom
Thy hardened heart will be melted there
Thou wilt confess, heresy,
Blaspheming the saintsand gilded glory
Step on the altar refusing all guilt giving allegiance not,
Open extended arms to embrace,
Drawing near knives set to pierce the breast.
Gears slowly turning inpaling spikes are set asked once more to confess.
Priest bless the soul justifying their murder for god
A sacrifice to christianity
Doors reopened
Body removed
Sent to an underground river to wash the remains through,
Diabolic engine of torment
Low thunder of the widow's blade rattles deep within the
bones of those gathered
To witness the performance
Straps tightened under the arms and head placed within a
perfect circle
Preventing movement in any way roars of revenge devour
the squires of mercy
Stumbling across the platform intoxicated from a
heartening draught screaming in
Support of the decree the crowd awaits in the shadow of
the guillotine
An assistant pulls the ears to keep the skin on the neck
taught sun glistens
On the edge feverishly awaiting the drop
Blade quickly released administering justice to keep the
peace save your...
The last words uttered just before the head severed falls
into a basket of iron
A fountain of blood soaks the assistant as the body is
pushed into a leather
Lined basket final breath of life expelled from the lungs
state sanctioned
Depravity upholding the laws of liberty equality and
Searing the flesh as fat spills onto the ground coals
crackle and spark whilst the flames
Grow higher
Preparing your soul for the eternal fires awaiting your
arrival gridiron glowing
Red hot the skin burning away turning muscles black
A candle lit by god's grace that shall never be
extinguished using fire
To exercise their ire
The remains of morality branded on the frame the
punishment of infidels marked
In the holy name abolishing the wide spread disease of
Suspended sweat and blood fills the eyes of inquisitor mocks all answers
Hoisted up the pulley cables tighten asked again suddenly dropped shoulders
Near dislocation weights added to the feet ropes tighten around the wrists
Confession for a merciful death denial is a slow execution, the room of questions
Smothers the world, suffering in silence broke by the screams of pain raised
One last time the last chance to confess let go then abruptly stopped the weight
Pulls the legs from their sockets ropes dislocate the shoulders
Praise the lord the messiah,
Of ignorance and false prophecy,
Teaching your rules of hatred,
Promising immortality.
Let us pray to love our neighbor
While blessed bombs fall in place,
Entire races, civilizations lost all in the name of god.
Beaten and dejected leader,
Consumed with holy sickness
Promised land made free from pain
Living gods failing,
Venemous words poisoning minds of clear thinking
Leading the congregation into the silence of salvation.
Recycled ancient lies,
Fools try to warn the wise,
Faith in god to heal,
Passing under the divine bodies hanging under the sacred
grove that adjoins the temple
Uppsala putrefaction a sign of god's approval
Suffocating holy odour of the dead blessing the believers
until the seasons end god
Of the gallows observing from within asgard watching as
they make their way preparing
To send this slave into the spirit world to accompany her
master and celebrate with the
Glorious dead
Her last days spent feasting drinking and having sex with
her master's friends
Volunteering for a heathen death hail the gods who bring
up the winds making the flames
More intense decreasing the time for crossing over
lowered and restrained strangled with a
Rope overwhelmed and struggling to breathe a ritual
dagger plunged into the chest
Warm blood floods the lungs an unbroken gaze upon the
face quiet and peaceful as the body
Blades open up the flesh cutting deep into the jaw and
cheek forced to drink
Large quantities of wine members tied with a lute string
Slicing the throats of the victims wife and children
before him so he knows
His seed also dies with a sadistic twist hot embers
replace their eyes
Pleasing the congregation members intense pressure is
applied so the victim
Can slowly feel himself die
A confession extracted by force death glazes over the
eyes turns and stares
Toward the sky as blood floods the throat torment with
death not quick enough
Taken back to the cell confined to a low dungeon which no
light can enter laid
Upon your back strapped down spread eagle that there will
be iron set upon your
Body as great as you can bear and greater
Fed three morsels of barley on the first day of
questioning weights added on pressing
To plead still no crimes admitted or denied three drinks
if water to sustain life
Through the day weights piling high upon the chest
respirations becoming quick
And shallow pressure too intense for the body to sustain
Mind failing under the pain the plate of iron collapses
into the lungs and heart
Searched for the devils mark cord wrenched around the
head chained to the wall of the cell witches bridle
forced
inside, prevented from rest a bodkin inserted
hung up by the thumbs burned between the toes
asked of conspirators judgement passed down
taken to the waters edge priests prepare a lost soul
on a quest to cleanse the land

the shore and boat swung and pelted with stones

an innocent is sure to sink and cleared of past
mistakes,church officials watch for an sign of
Hanging high above the Inquisitors gathered
below ropes and shackles twitch in anicipation
placed upon the throne designed not for rules
but the sinful wretch
a belt fastened around the waist hoisted over the
cradle and lowered spike fixed under the spine
ropes attached to the feet rocked back and forth
questioned on faith weights shackled to the limbs
intense interrogation,spike set deep within the
flesh reducing the spine to pulp immense pain
fills the body with every tremor of the ropes
Hidden within pulsating under the skin shift and turn rotten body infested with worms.
Victims of a roadside murder buried where they fell no one near to hear the screams no one
Left to tell, a shallow grave marks the spot where parts of the dead find rest stabbed
In the throat tongue cut out slowly bled to death.
New home now this bloodstained cell kept under lock and key until considered well,
Decomposing bodies lie near putrid stench of death fills the air,
Living on the flesh of the dead, conversating with a severed head.
Hearing screams from tortured scenes punishments made on those in need,
Luring the unsuspecting young to his private chambers
quickly seized stripped then hung a man of the church
and political power reassuring no harm to silence the
cries
of those being sodomized throat slowly cut braguemard
severs the head wallowing in the warmth of the intestines
masturbating upon entrails of the dead removing pieces

Struck in the back of the head driven by an unquenchable
urge to kill blood flows over the shoulders multiple
blows

sacrifices made to a lustful desire bones crushed
blood spilled feverishly oppening the skin unidentified
remains butchered and defiled fermenting flesh
hastens the strench of decay inserting allowing to
A ritualistic sacrifice set up to pass judgement on the chosen ones a covenant
Blessed with blood priests set with knives in hand anxious believers look toward the sky,
Skin shaven clean, blood flowing, puncture wound, life fading.
Bodies dismembered by the hundreds amongst the screams of bliss severed
Limbs are ravenously devoured baptizing the new in the blood of the feast of flesh.
The dying's clothing alive and in motion with vermin all
chained together no need
For a warden disease chokes and deprives air resting in
puddles of infectious pus
Unstoppable shaking consumes the mind and body staring
into the faces if the dead
As they are drug around the room flaying off strips of
skin and placing it on them
Behold the duke of exeter, lying awake eyes wide open beholding the instruments
Of pain ankles set wrists locked down all the boards put in place, muscles tense when
Questioning begins soon fail during restraint wrists and shoulders dilocated life fades
Away the duke of exeter, racked at the pulley, while beaten with cords,
Placed in a large iron hop hinged in two halves hands
bound behind the back
Forced to kneel on the lower half with the executioner
straddling the victim
Turning and tightening the screw clamping down the other
section immovable agonizing
Pain begins anew
Pressing the body evercloser sweat and tears fill the
eyes a slow swelling
Of the throat muffling the cries chest against the knees
stomach against the thighs
Placed upon the barrel a stone rain falls from the crowd smells of smoke
And burning flesh are all that surround an iron hoop placed around the waist
Of the lifeless body hung till dead before being commited to fire.
Gunpowder hung around their necks, cloths and limbs smeared with pitch,
Forced to wear a tar covered bonnet.
Burning the body for jesus killing by holy design reeds thrown on the platform bundled
Under each arm crowds gather to witness suffering of those left alive fat and blood
Denying the crimes of which you?vebeen found
guilty bound hand and foot to the table a mouse
filled bowl overturned on the stomach trapping the
rodents insidea fire placed on top of the container
heating the vermin held within,attempting escape
from the flame burrowing though the skin
every bite intended to remind of the crimes and
false pretense a frenzied feast deep within
executioners witness movement under the skin
abdomen appears to be boiling as the panic filled
creatures enter the intestines spilling out the sides
of the body wracked with pain moving into the chest
cavity a slow devouring of the heart and lungs
Inquisitors smile sadistically listening to the screams
I put the bodies in their places,
Place expressions
Expressions on their faces
A headless torso lying naked amongst the piles of flesh so sacred.
Conducting experiments to preserve forever
Stages of dismemberment fluctuating from room to room
Flowing the sweet odor of death.
Dissolving limbs, boiling the flesh, power drill injecting acid into the brains of them.
We believe in mountains of gold
And the story of the sea
We believe in rhythms untold
We believe in endless fields of nothin' yeah
So go on and leave me with your bustlin'
Don't try to tell me, you have gone away
Little boy wake up, wake up fast
You know this life ain't never gonna last
Always on the wrong side of those railroad tracks
Never, ever, ever looking back
Don't try to tell me or even sell me
Just give me what you're walkin' on
History's your lesson, indeed your question
Just give me what you're walking on
You look tired my friend from living
Just outside those walls
You look tired my friend and so
Your voice surely calls

And the story of the sea
We believe in rhythms untold
We believe in endless fields of nothin' yeah

I'm surrounded by my mind
And as the white flag gently waves
It spirits me away
I raise my hands
Because I cannot wake

By the sweet uncertain
In the palm of your hand
I will not fall, can not fall once again
In the palm of your hand

And as the white flag gently waves
Keep rollin', oh keep rollin' on
Keep singin' all your precious songs
Was it somethin' that somebody said

When the keeper of the shop
Is closing up too soon
Unleash an arrow at the heavens
You know he'll be back soon
Whoa sweet Jah won't you
Never stop building on me
Whoa sweet Jah won't you
Never presiding over me
Whoa sweet jah won't you
Force me back, back on my knees
Keep movin' on with every day

Keep doin' what you do
When it just won't come to you
Keep rollin'
When the keeper of the shop
Is closing up too soon
Unleash an arrow at the heavens
You know he'll be back soon
Whoa sweet Jah won't you
Never stop building on me
Whoa sweet Jah won't you
Never presiding over me
Whoa sweet jah won't you
Force me back, back on my knees
Keep rollin', oh keep rollin'
Ain’t found a way to kill me yet,
My eyes are burning and stinging with sweat,
Seems every path leads me to nowhere.
Coming back,
Coming home,
The Queen of Love enters the room,
Silence ensues,
Said the king ‘What have you done to my life,’
did you take me for a fool or for a wife’.
And the king is in his court,
Counting all his diamonds,
One by one they do fall.
Says the queen ‘The Prince of Spades
Is coming home,
it’d be nice if you could find some time alone
After all he’s in line for the throne’.
And the king is in his court,
Counting all his diamonds,
One by one they do fall.
They do fall.
There was a queen who stepped in the room,
The king followed, and the prince did too,
Come in, come in, check your smile at the door,
Come in, come in, check your smile at the door,
At the door.
So now, just come up your ass,
Leave all your treasures behind,
Your son is coming home with you to spend some time
Show him how a good king should be,
And don’t ever forget the day,
You turned your back on him and me,
But still I stayed.
Still I stayed.
Oh, oh, oh.
Wife and kid,
And household pet,
Army green is no safe bet.
The bullets scream to me from somewhere.
well i've been sailin' on a lazy day
movin' slow or so they might say

things they feel like a feather
and if i would have known

she runs through the steets
her eyes painted red
under black belly cloud in the rain
in through doorway
she brings me those white golden peals
stolen from the sea
she is raging, she is raging
and the storm blows up in her eye
she will suffer the needle chill
shes running to stand still
im still running, im still running
im still running all the way home
im still running, im still running
im still running all the way home
The wind blew and her hair stood still
He sits beneath her window still...
She awaits the magic in his hands
He walks her out into the night
And takes her in a different light
Her eyes divert to the water beneath his feet
oh, the water beneath his feet
oh, the water beneath his feet
Boy wakes up and runs outside
To find that all his fears have died
And all the shells are laying on the sand
She kicks a rock along that road
And stood still while the story was told
Do you believe in me he said, can you believe in me...
oh, you believe in me
oh, you believe in me
The wind blew and her hair stood still
He sits beneath her window still...
She awaits the magic in his hands
He walks her out into the night
And takes her in a different light
Her eyes divert to the water beneath his feet
oh, the water beneath his feet
oh, the water beneath his feet
oh, you believe in me
Well we're waiting again
Throwing thumbs on the side of the road
Ever wondering, ever feeling
Tracing lines that no one knows
Well we're waiting again
Side by side until to who knows
Salty breeze is finally blowing
Heff and Hayes are chargin marvioo-so
Let the wind be upon your back
And if there's sun, let it shine on your face
Let the rains rip across your path
Providing a swell to last all of your day
Pablo please what will we do
Now we're finally off the leash
A rooster's tail (a rooster's tail) we simply can not lose
Finding fish before the feast
Let the wind be upon your back
And if there's sun, let it shine on your face
Let the rains rip across your path
Providing a swell to last all of your day
Sometimes ya gonna chase em down just to let em go, let em go
Sometimes ya gonna run em down just to let em go, let em go
Sometimes it's not that ya knowww ohh ohohhh hohoohoh ohhh
Ohhh ohh ooohhh oh
Well we're waiting again
Throwing thumbs on the side of the road
Ever wondering, ever feeling
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Does anybody know this man
Can anybody understand
How long it is the road
We've come today
Days now wrapped in silence
I wonder what is this violence
That keeps his mouth locked shut
And his tounge at bay
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Senor I have a question
In you is there a lesson
A story wrapped so tight
That you need share
You've got the trusted ears of strangers
You've escaped your recent dangers
So tell me what in this life
We need beware
Please excuse my insolence
I mean nothing here to offend
Though my eyes don't blink
Yes my mind does think
That in you I've found a friend
Please accept my innocence
I'll do nothing more this day
When I was lost you were the cost
That I knew I would surely pay
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Instrumental Break
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
The mountain once again
Fallin', I am fallin' down
Won't you see with, see with my eyes
Won't you speak with my voice
Won't you free them
Release them so they'll know
Won't you lead them
They have the choice
In this house that's built of You
We come with daggers beneath the roof
In this house we'll search for truth
And we'll leave our daggers
Won't you go out and meet them where they are
Won't you greet them with your scars
Won't you bring them an endless source of light
Won't you trade the, trade their scales for sight
In this house that's built of You
We come with daggers beneath the roof
In this house we'll search for truth
And we'll leave our daggers
Won't you sing them silent words of truth
Won't you find them
To remind them of their youth
Won't you listen to all they might say
Won't you earn them
And learn them toward the day
In this house that's built of You
We come with daggers beneath the roof
In this house we'll search for truth
Will you come quick upon the hill
We''ll break some bread and we'll all take our fill
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
Haven't you heard that we are free?
Haven't you traced the steps back from Calvary?
We have the greatest reason of all
We'll build a city or we'll fall
We'll build a city without walls
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
We'll build a city as we pray
So bring all your hammers, your nails, and your tools
Bring all you can spare and what you might use
And now loose your grip; we'll not need our hands today
Chorus:
Who are you? oh, whats your destination?
will you come around? oh, will you come around?
Who are you? oh, whats your expectation?
will you come around? woah, woah, will you come around?
Verse 1:
So, i been there before, maybe just once or twice,
i was locked outside that door, and so you said to me
oh that it wont be long, no it wont be long before you
our swept out of the wave, all these words may be the last you will say
one to the left and now a few to the right, a little bit further on down
you find the light
CHORUS
Verse 2:
A little bit further on down that road, bumped into a man said son,
your stories going to be told, not by the speed in with which you move
but by the time you didnt lose, with those that surround you
there all around you, theyre the 1's to the left and the few to the right,
oh a little bit further on down you find the light
CHORUS
Bridge:
So when the devil may come. So when the devil may do
I cannot wait for the day when he's down on his knees, and bowing to you
So when the devil may come. so when the devil may do
I cannot wait for the day, oh no no no, no i cannot wait for the day
no no no no, no i cannot wait for the day when hes down on his knees, and bowing to you.
