Otep - Wurd Becomes Flesh lyrics

Can you hear them out there? Can you
Hear them out there? The war
Drums, the battle cries, calling you to
Dance, calling you to die oh
Can you hear them
OUT THERE!? Securing the new
Religion with mindless
Violent acts are you sure you want
This? Well do you believe in the revolution?
Are you ready? Let me see, let me see
It children, now it's time for a story and
It's about this girl I know
And how she used to trust people
Like priests and police and politicians
And parents and cowardly
Fucking presidents and people of powerand all
She got in return was pain, but all she
Got in return was pain oh all she
Got in returnwaspaIN! And his reply
Oh with the devil in his eye was shhh
(hahaha) Just be quiet now (hahaha)
See it was, uh, a night of lies
It was a sick quick compromise, it
Wasit was the devil in his eyes, it
Was innocence, slithering down her thighs
It wasit was his fucking fist in
(punching sound nonoOOno! don't, stop) her
Fucking side and why, wHY! why?
Cause there was a baby
(no) barely three months alive
But, I survived
(haha) too stubborn to succumb
To the dripping
Jaws of the dominant paradigm
Cause it began as
All tragedies dowith a bruise and a
Blister, a lie and a whisper it's spirit
So deep, it's just out of reach
These hooks andsplinterrrRRRRRsss

Hey is there anyone here that would like
To confess they're sins to me tonight?
(I just want to) Place your face between my
Thighs and talk to god well tell
Me, tell me terrible things, that's fine tell
Me your most beautiful fantasy tell me
Tell metellmetell me why the soul must
Rot tell me why you lack
A single fucking original thought tELL
MEEEE! Through these jungles of
Fire and past these mountains of
Peer power well this world
This world is a fucking
Holocaust and it'seating me
Religion has failed us our
Leaders have failed
Us all we have leftis art and the
Living fires into the eternal infernal
So bring out your dead here comes
The warhead plagues, pestilence, disease
The fallof the great American suicide

Hey, wait
What do we have here? Is it complete
And total mutiny of the senses (yeah, yeah
Yeah) a secret society performing
Social experiments and
Spiritual archaeology hiding beneath the
Cloak of heavy truth
The brutality of reality is that there
Is not one absent moment
That I can stop being me i will
Tell you a story, 5 lifetimes old
I will tell you a secret, i will
Let you see with my words
I will let you burn and observe
For where i go you can only follow so
Come with me i can show you
Faces, take you to these far away places
Bring back all those hidden memories
All those terrifying
Moments of emptiness, rumaging through
Piles of life
Searching for my identity just
Come with meno no!
I don't want to go, I don't want
To feel, I don't want to think
I don't want to rememeber any fucking
Thing! just come with me
Ok ok ok but this is the last fucking time

And I heard itand it was like
It was like 3: 37 or
Something andsomeone in the
Alley was murdering an animal for it's skin
(Screaming) And it's so cold, it's
So cold out there, i can still remember
It'scREEEEEEAMMMMM!It was like
They were skinning a newbornbaby
(It sounds like) Ohand it
Sounds likearmageddon (whispers)

This is a song called cutter same
Sound it's the same sting, it's the
Same collapse of everything, it's the same
Slice, same blade, same lie
Same old vein i hurt to heal now i know
It's real i hurt to heal so i can
Feel i hurt to heal but I don't understand i
Just want to be better then i am
The wind will not comfort me, Not
The silence of the night
Not the shade of the blossoming
Moon Or the wisdom of the infant stars Or my
Beloved insecurities Or these
Loving scars swollen, completely broken
And mostly, well
Still frozen In the insanity of needing you
To chase the wolves away beside me, in
The fire, Asleep, soft and perishable
For as long as the moment lasts
