Pariah

Cast out of so-called paradise, I awoke among the dead Sought in vain to scrape the nightmares from my weary head It ever so happens that what I am inside Is everything you call ugly, every love you despise Now that you've laid me in the lowest pit, shall I praise you from down here? Am I to chant, among the vermin, prayers to fall upon deaf ears? Take me in your arms, take me to your bed Set me a place at your table, let me in your head And I'll betray you, I'll desecrate you I'll be your worst fears realized and brought to life Spend a night inside this cage and you'll learn to hate the hand that feeds you I'll teach your withered nerves to writhe, I'll make you feel alive When you've got nothing, you've got no right to hunger or to thirst, to starve or to suffer at all Those who have what you have not will gather around to watch you crawl When your heart's desires are unforgivable crimes, blasphemous to the castrates and the voyeurs They'll parade your disgrace, and spit back in your face all the loves you held sacred and pure As a slave's only right is rebelling As a thief's only right is deception As a who're only revenge is contempt If you're innocent I'll heap up enough sin To buy the Kingdom of the Condemned And I walk among the dead Fighting to scrape your nightmares from my poisoned head I'll betray you, I'll violate you - I'll be your worst fears realized Spend a night inside this cage, you'll learn to hate the hand that feeds you I'll steal your heart, I'll steal your soul, your very nerves So I can feel ALIVE The ones you thought beneath you stand over you now The ones you thought behind you stand before you now The ones you thought could not hear are not deaf to you now And the eyes you thought blind are following your every move The homeless will sleep warm tonight The starving will be fed tonight The cast outs come back to haunt tonight The have-nots will get theirs tonight The hopeless will have hope tonight, the worthless will have worth tonight The weary will rest well tonight, the Holy sleep in Hell tonight The first will be the last tonight, the last will be the first tonight The might are brought low tonight The have-nots will get OURS- Tonight
