Holy Homicides
Lying here numb staring at the walls of filth
Waiting for the time, the moment of truth
Its time now, I am going. So long!
Ceremonious exile to the world I belong
This wasteful existence they call life
I've endured for long this strife
Mortal souls thrive in this hollow black hole
This bottomless pit I've lost my soul
The futile depths I delved were like endless roads
The well of ignorance, the reign of knighted toads
I lied low in the deep trenches of the shallow pits
Enslaved and suppressed by my noble kings
I've waited for aeons for that fireball to die
And the immortal light to begin and shine
Honorable men and dutiful wives have arrived
To see this iconoclast getting rightfully crucified
Let this bring World Peace and justice for all
For ‘In god they trust', ‘god save'em all'
The resonant sound of their march I hear
My royal attire for the night is coming near
Those iron chains of freedom I can already feel
Emancipated and flying to the surreal
It's such a joy to die as a beast
Social animal with inhuman traits
‘Created' by a sacred clan called mankind
Cast-away by men who stab from behind
They take me away to the crossbar poles
Fearless soldiers, moral zealots and sacred souls
The clergy waiting eagerly for the moment so gory
Their moment of bliss and ephemeral glory
They open their newly bound books
Sanctimonious preachers and wicked crooks
Revered and feared they just want to be
Ready to sing me my final lullaby
For my glorified soul to rust in pieces
May it satiate their spirits, my nemesis
The executioners back on duty again
Their ten seconds to fame about to begin
Dignitaries receiving judicial enlightenment
Taken some time off for some family entertainment
Crucified and hanging from the gallows heights
I take a tranquil look at the last sights
Of a treacherous world that was never mine
A world of miseries and remorseless crime
The bells are chiming, now is my time
Bid farewell to a life unworthy of a dime
But mark my words till the end of your days
I'll be in the worst nightmare you'd ever face.
