White Lamb
10/17/2013
They've got their laws beneath the Bible
and I've got my ideals to rival
their aim at self proclaimed survival
the faith I've seen as crass
Evil men have done harm to me
Now I must punish man
It's just my religious duty
for all they fail to understand
Hatred guides my hand
I'm waiting for the ax to fall
a white lamb bleeding pure as snow
and the world would be good
if only someone could
save the damned from descending
and the virgin hands from touching
the gold that turns to stone
My fingernails are black
with the sickness and sin of man
the poison touch of promises that
crack walls like the skulls of rats dead,
gone down to Jesus
This is what clings to my cadaverous soul
and ever turns my eyes black
These are the things that eat my spirit whole
and this pain I will never lack
