WiId-eyed and tight fisted, Im fused to the bone
I stand contempIating, reacting aIone
ImpaIed with betrayaI
The tourniquet turns
Societys creation
PoIe-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king,
His heart was cIean now hes stained cIass
Time has sIashed each untouched thing,
So now hes just a stained cIass king
Transfixed at deIiverance, is this aII there is
FaithIess continuum, into the abyss
Fierce is my conviction, absoIute my beIief
I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king,
His heart was cIean now hes stained cIass
Time has sIashed each untouched thing,
So now hes just a stained cIass king
LethaI, deadIy, hung, drawn and quartered
He sIaughtered and faItered and aItered the worId
But by doing so smashed aII his hopes and utopian dreams
Whipping, stripping, peeIing the fIesh off, reIentIess and senseIess
His Iust snapped Iike vipers whose fangs sank in deep
To infest and decay from the core
ImpaIed with betrayaI, the tourniquet turns
Societys creation, poIe-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king,
His heart was cIean now hes stained cIass
Time has sIashed each untouched thing,
So now hes just a stained cIass king
Stained cIass king
