Your eyes have been sewn by the demon you serve
You welcome each passing of needle and thread
That your eyes may be shut to all semblance of hope
In the land of the blind you're no longer alone
Slave beasts drag the burden of hell
For the cogs must keep on turning
Come along, alone too long
And we know how much you're hurting
Indulge in your illusions
Nod your head, bow down, agree
Such a rebel and non-conformist
When you're bent both back and knee
Let the hand of hell subvert your body and your mind
Hellish flames do dance before misshapen shuttered eyes
Your skull a cave where shadows uncontested spread their lies
Deafened by the voices rattling inside your crooked empty skull
Echoes bleed out of your mouth
And though you could you will not stop
You let the hand of hell subvert your body and your mind
But you're mine
You are mine
Slave you shall be bled
Force fed the dead
Nailed, crucified
Until the end of time
Hordes of blind souls thrash around in their self-imposed hell
Waiting as they bleed out in their separate shells
All they can hear are their neighbours' agonized cries
That sound identical to them, to yours and mine's
Each dullard chants in identical tones
Praising his ego as a personal god
Thinking of all those who did them wrong
And how it's always everyone else's fault
One day the flood will come
Not one of water but of light
And he who can see shall be set free
And he who cannot shall remain forever blind
