Lyrics Germ - Otep

Germ

the enemy of the world
our greatest defeat
slave warfare
our wings are almost dry and free
absorbing violence
punishing pain
poetry is the perfume of the soul
nightmare babies, fire gods
speaking of dream time serpants
and walking with the elder dead
fear me mortal
fear me feed my disease
feed my disease
and in tiny little houses
on tiny little streets
voices raise and
fear is alive
and laughter
he’s knows tolerance
she only knows lonliness
and in my blackness of sleep
savages dance and scream
but only truth is suffering
bleeding like embryos
starving with dreams
you, single cell are commerse
whoa, what happened to you last night?
you’ve given up without a fight
and learned the words thay say receit
you killed the flower that blossoms in the night
smothered and crushed
rage gives way to a little giggle and sudden blush
and in my molecules, the vast eternity of invention
infected with the good disease
intellect, rebellion
finding the need in every single one
…of you
what’s a matter you don’t like it when i touch you?
come here
don’t run, don’t run
hand me babies and nightmare gods
i will shed my skin
he prefers pain to pretty
death to daughter
to the shivering creature that lay beneath him
i will not be want you want me to be
i will not be want you want me to be
people are evil and girls hate each other
oh great devour of the dead
i will know my demons names
i will conquer them
i will rise
i will… fight
why?
coming…
salvation…
this is my holy war
we come to you like desert warriors
fresh from the cool dew of night
in a sea of odor
in a tapestry of pain
absorbing violence
feasting on hopelessness
expand your mind
expand your mind
this is our time to shine
and out of the ashes
only the holy will rise
sweet paper messiah
sweet paper messiah
how i sacrifice you, i sacrifice you
dear, sweet paper messiah
my offering
my suffering
whatever you need
what… ever you need
whatever you…
whatever you need
unite
messiah
me
