lyrics

Intro
Eyes wide, open
Finite and forgotten
Redmption, disregarded
Welcomed home into ruined hands


Verse 1

Remembered
Like a stain on the face
Ashes to ashes
Dust unto dust
Embraced in dirt
And finally set free


Verse 2

You terrorize and feed the trepidation
Stake your claim in a holy war and burn down a nation


Chorus

Unemancipated and thrown to the wolves
Bow your heads in shame
Let the banners unfurl
Read aloud the names
Consume the sin
Bow your heads in the burial ground
And carry black coffins in


Verse 3

Nail after nail , nail after nail
Wear your thorns with pride
Walk with the whores
and poison your soul
‌may your righteousness be your demise
Eye for an eye,
until we all go blind
a lost cause is a lost cause
no matter how well it is disguised


Chorus

Unemancipated and thrown to the wolves
Bow your heads in shame
Let their banners unfurl
Read aloud the names
To cleanse your sin
Bow your heads in the burial ground
And carry black coffins in (and in, and in, and in, and in, and in)


Sample

"Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary. They better wise up! Taking Joey Doyle's life to stop him from testifying is a crucifixion. And dropping a sling on Kayo Dugan because he was ready to spill his guts tomorrow, that's a crucifixion. And every time the Mob puts the pressure on a good man, tries to stop him from doing his duty as a citizen, it's a crucifixion."
Father Barry (Karl Malden)
On the Waterfront (1954)


Bridge

In the shadow of your father's house
Lay me down


Outro

Shovel on shovel
Until dirt fills my lungs
A thorn in the mouth
Deceit on the tongue
Expel the sinner with bell book and candle
Alles ist Verboten
A guilt offering
