Wretch

Chews the fat
With his creator
Over breakfast
In the sunlight
When he says grace
When he says grace
He feels enveloped
Like a shadow
0:37
But there are evenings
There are evenings
When this decimated
World of moventment
Color and form
Gets thin
And getting thinner
When lights are dim
And getting dimmer
When nights are grim
And only getting
Only getting grimmer
Oh
As they barter
Their boulders
And martyr
Their soldiers
Teach a man
To tear
Her fucking head
From her
God-damned shoulders
(3x):
Held into the sun
By the strands
Of her hair
They impart
The secret hatred
From their fathers
To their heirs
2:18
In silence
Left unbroken
On the bed
Bound and gagged
Bound
Bound and gagged
2:33
With culture
Language
Myth and law
Our goddess
Gave birth
Our goddess
Gave birth
To your God
3:16
On a bed Bound
And gagged
With culture
Language
Myth and law
From
A wounded womb
Her flesh
Was scarred
And raw
(4x):
Our goddess
Gave birth
To your God
God damn
Culture
Language
Myth and law
Our goddess
Gagged
Culture
Language
Myth and law
Our goddess
Gave birth
To your God
