i need a hammer, I need a lever I need to pry off these hands that gave us the fever

hands that steal, hands that kill, hands that crush the iron will

broken body, rotten body, broken body

disembodiment was never meant to make a man

we lost our blood in the fire and flood, bested

rend the flesh, stretched and threshed, divested

the body writhes, the fire next time it swallows

the fire next time consumes all that's hollow

now I'm a monster, now I'm a beggar, robes of ashen gold still bound a fettered

gagged and bound, cloaked and gowned, crush the head that wears the crown

broken body, rotten body, broken body

time crush your kingdoms, heaven burn your thrones

water, swallow the light

fire, cleanse their souls

there's a white billowing light, burning and burning and burning, on and on

son, I've no blood left to give
