Requiem

1 0 0
                                    

Down, chemical sacrament

Blasphemous prayer

Deliver me from this

So serene apocalypse


Just make me fucking numb

Deaf, blind and fucking dumb

Return to sacred sleep!

This could be my requiem

And I'll feel no pain

This could be my requiem

But don't bury me too deep!


Drain infected brine

Sickened cesspool shell of mine

Strap up the hands of time

And push the soul into the vain


Just make me fucking numb

Deaf, blind and fucking dumb

Return to sacred sleep!


This could be my requiem

And I'll feel no pain

This could be my requiem

But don't bury me too deep!


"And we had better not have any of our children left when it's over, 'cause they'll parachute in here on us

Because we are not committing suicide, it's a revolutionary act! Calm, let's get calm

We had nothing we could do, we can't, we can't separate ourselves from our own people

It's not to be feared, it is not to be feared! It's a friend, it's a friend

Let's be done with the agony of it

Far, far harder to have to watch you every day die slowly

And from the time you were a child to the time you get gray you're dying

Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother, please, mother, please

Please, please, don't... lay down your life with your child, but don't do this

And we had better not have any of our children left when it's over

Lay down your life with your child

Oh, God almighty, God almighty..."


Sink, suffer, self-destruct

Rise stronger, reconstruct

Sink, suffer, self-destruct

Rise stronger, reconstruct


Dispose

Discard

Deny

And I will feel no pain
