lyrics

Prayer is not worth much
When prescribing a way to die
Some faith would say such
A single minded goal is an ally

A tool that discourages thought and
Travels undercover in velvet glove
Lying in wait to steal all that you love

In the real it never looks like a brutal
Display of finesse.
What really shatters the people to scatter is the futility of the safety they possess

Creating spirits is a main feature
Of what we do so it's unusual
How civil society can confer
An attraction so clearly delusional

They know this kind of work in really
Every city you can name inside
The borders of the land of those who did not survive

In the real it never looks like a brutal
Display of finesse.
What really shatters the people to scatter is the futility of the safety they possess

Many who hold me don't read me
They feel like they are in control
But I say when to need me or feed me
When to take or to give up a soul

In the real it never looks like a brutal
Display of finesse.
What really shatters the people to scatter is the futility of the safety they possess
