The Carving

Penetrate my skin so deeply
Watch my blood gush a brilliant white
A tattoo that will last forever
Seen for miles at the dead of night
Carve a mystic impregnation
Artistry not mutilation
I will not be made your scapegoat
If your dreams and wishes turn sour
There's no gold and there's no rainbow
Now is the time, now is the hour
Indicate that you understand
Your future here is what's at stake
Put aside your prejudice
Tomorrow's not a world away
Hope you've come to your decision
As I make the first incision
Search your conscience, don't be afraid
The cycle of life must be obeyed
Hand on your heart or foot in the grave
Trust in the dust - you will be saved
I will not be made your scapegoat
If your dreams and wishes turn sour
There's no gold and there's no rainbow
Now is the time, now is the hour
Search your conscience, don't be afraid
The cycle of life must be obeyed
Hand on your heart or foot in the grave
Trust in the dust - you will be saved
