Lyrics

The gates open for the ailing victim The suits have prepared your room The straightest of jackets are pressed To free you from the things you knew Stagnant blood demands the leech To bind antiquity's remedy A cross compounded into skull Worn to keep the ghosts at bay Mercurian cure A lethal dose of liquid sunshine Sadness woven in to cruelty's bouquet And the surgeon's wishes for your stay will be obeyed Ice pick in hand and prefrontal destination Relinquishment of personality And your mind's contamination Stagnant blood demands the leech To bind antiquity's remedy A cross compounded into skull Worn to keep the ghosts at bay Mercurian cure Lethal dose of liquid sunshine Sadness woven in to cruelty's bouquet Surgeon's wishes for your stay Laced with quicksilver martyrdom Now, child (Now, child), now, child (Now, child) Take your medicine Alleviate that which ails you Must you suffer through the ache of life? Fair warning The abnegation of torment comes at a price
