A Thousand Cuts

This is the story of two young lovers on a beach
 Who found each other by the end of the war
 They set out to explore the bodies on the shore
 And what they found it would hurt them
 Smoke mixed with fire
 Pity mixed with pain
 The waves came crashing
 Swept them away
 Confessions written in the sand
 The pleasures of the flesh
 The passion

 Sex and death

 It's a moonlit night in a small town
 A headless man, scissors in his hand
 Cuts the hair, cuts the tongues
 A chalice smashed against the stone
 The victim's eyes
 A Satanic church
 A woman leaps out of the window
 Two young soldiers at the very end
 They simply waltz the night away
 The palace of excess
 The madness

 Life and death
