I Am the Thorn

The needle in the eye of the hurricane
 The poison in the font
 The nail in the coffin of the profane
 I am the lot
 ♪
 Maniacal the fire
 That weaves inside my soul
 When dripping tongues of hate, envenomed, roll
 Like carpet bombs in vast bazaars
 My blood runs with the beasts
 Though no crescent, cross
 Or wandering star
 Shalt witness my defeat
 Born of jackal in the Vatican
 To a loathesome flock
 I have crept behind the drapes
 And a wizard there is not
 Just a white flag blackened by
 Singing weapons that have led
 A faith that soon dominions over
 Desert kingdoms of the dead
 I smell the fleur du malcontent
 The hellish stench
 Of Judas in the dozens
 Bouquets for greed and twisted law
 Handmaidens of a holy war
 Bring on a thousand roses more
 I am The Thorn
 ♪
 Tangled are the thickets
 That spare the virgin heart
 From the waking grasp of rapists in the dark
 Mountaineers that strive so far
 For a Heaven grown from reach
 That love herself is fabled
 To be missing from their peaks
 Save in one sole tower
 Where the presence of a rod
 Stays the sleeping beauty
 From the prying fingers of the mob
 I smell the fleur du malcontent
 The hellish stench
 Of Judas in the dozens
 Bouquets for greed and twisted law
 Handmaidens of a holy war
 Bring on a thousand roses more

 I am the Spear of Longinus
 The Sword of Damocles
 Kali up in arms, a bleeding sinus
 The hammer of the gods in the prophet's teeth
 ♪
 I am The Thorn
 Saint Disgustus, President Evil
 Great white hopes of a shark eyed people
 Lights of the world now flicker and die
 Impaled in the race. in the paling face
 Where forked tongues pricked the skies
 Choking on these words as i slither to their ear
 As lightning strikes their blinded minds
 I am The Thorn
 I am not the hand of God...

 Territorial theives
 Ever stealing thunder for religious causes
 I will bring you all down to your knees
 And fuck you over
