SPIKE IN HANDS
SPIKE IN FEET
HUNG LIKE WOOD
IN PAIN SO SWEET
GARBLED WORDS
LIKE LOVE AND FRIEND
BLOOD SOAKED DAYS
THE BITTER END
PIERCE THE FLESH
OF THIS A FOOL
STANDING ON
A WHIRLPOOL
OF LIFE AND DEATH
AND THAT BETWEEN
OF WHICH IS NOT
AND WHAT IS SEEN
PAIN THAT TAKES
YOU TO A PLACE
WHERE SCORN IS WRITTEN
ON YOUR FACE
TEARS OF BLOOD
MAY MEND YOUR SOUL
BUT DESTINY
CAN MAKE YOU WHOLE
WILL YOU STAND
AGAINST YOURSELF
AND BLINDLY FOLLOW
SOMEONE ELSE
TO DEATH'S OWN DOOR
WHERE NONE CAN LEAVE
THAT PLACE WHERE WOMEN
STAND AND GRIEVE
MOTHERS SISTERS
DO NOT TERRY
HERE FOR LONG
WHERE NOTHING MERRY
RISES UP
TO MEET THE DAWN
OF LIFE UNBORN
THAT MUST GO ON
BE MY LOVE
AND TASTE MY SKIN
WRAP YOURSELF
INSIDE MY SIN
CLEAN MY WOUNDS
AND AND TOUCH MY FACE
AND LET US LEAVE
THIS WICKED PLACE.
