1. Young, old, healthy, sick such plasticity
the clean or not, such flexibility
your side is always strong in the pull
for once, darkness should smile and overrule
none wants to be a part of this album
inevitable is its growing sum
your statue, no one will build and erect
even the bad hate your path so direct.

Chorus
To some, you snow job
with sweet berries of carelessness
to others you set a trap in a gorse
you’ve added my boy to your tinder
no matter your might
the rough road to your dungeon
will never be tarred.

2. Such innocent face you made a mug shot
against his sacred existence you plot
when a specific borderline door bangs
on everyone connected, sorrow pangs
he struggled hard but you labored the point
bit by bit and slowly, you cracked life’s joint
the market smiles to the sea through the wharf
when taken, life is stunted and a dwarf.

Chorus
To some, you snow job
with sweet berries of carelessness
to others you set a trap in a gorse
you’ve added my boy to your tinder
no matter your might
the rough road to your dungeon
will never be tarred.

3. Why is your cell a permanent station?
Why are you above human reaction?
You trace and follow him with dark time lords
so much pain has always been your known style
sits as the king of the dark for a while
sapping souls you now cruelly mechanize
more you want, your aim is not fertilized.

Chorus
To some, you snow job
with sweet berries of carelessness
to others you set a trap in a gorse
you’ve added my boy to your tinder
no matter your might
the rough road to your dungeon
will never be tarred.
