Requiem

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down, chemical sacrament Blasphemous prayer Deliver me from this So serene apocalypse [Pre-Chorus] Just make me fucking numb Deaf, blind and fucking dumb Return to sacred sleep [Chorus] This could be my requiem And I'll feel no pain This could be my requiem But don't bury me too deep [Verse 2] Drain infected brine Sickened cesspool shell of mine Strap up the hands of time And push the soul into the vein [Pre-Chorus] Just make me fucking numb Deaf, blind and fucking dumb Return to sacred sleep [Chorus] This could be my requiem And I'll feel no pain This could be my requiem But don't bury me too deep [Interlude: Jim Jones "Death Tape" Sample] "And we had better not have Any of our children left when it's over 'Cause they'll parachute in here on us [...] Because we are not committing suicide It's a revolutionary act [...] ...Calm, let's get calm [...] We had nothing we could do, we can't We can't separate ourselves from our own people [...] It's not to be feared, it is not to be feared It's a friend, it's a friend [...] Let's be done with the agony of it It's far, far harder to have to watch you Every day die slowly And from the time you were a child To the time you get gray, you're dying [...] Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother Please, mother, please, please, please, don't... Lay down your life with your child, but don't do this [...] And we had better not have any of our children left when it's over [...] Lay down your life with your child [...] Oh, God almighty, God almighty..." [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Sink, suffer, self-destruct Rise stronger, reconstruct Sink, suffer, self-destruct Rise stronger, reconstruct [Outro] Dispose Discard Deny And I will feel no pain
