Remedy

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
