Pariah
Catharsis

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.
