Lyrics

Under lock and key and submerged in concrete
The bars may as well be the shackles at our feet
Supposed sanctuary for those outside and in
Mental cemetery celebrating ruin
Spend some time alone in a lightless hole
And a lifetime contemplating what was done
The ladder’s top rung buys his own protection
To ensure the king is not dethroned
To topple the patriarch you must set his nest ablaze
But no it’s none of my fucking business
Shoot the messenger and reward the source
And below, behead the witness
Put him in chains or in the ground
Spend some time alone in a lightless hole
And a lifetime contemplating what was done
The ladder’s top rung buys his own protection
To ensure the king is not dethroned
On top of the chain of command with a list of demands
But no it’s all in the name of business
Shoot the messenger and reward the source
And below behead the witness
Put him in chains or in the ground
Written by: Dan Jensen, Jim Adolphson, Mike Paradise, Morgan Carpenter
