Wound of the Warden |
| The wound of the warden |
| From cradle to the grave |
| The senseless apprehension |
| Of freedom’s wily ways |
| I know one day they’ll be grateful |
| I know one day they’ll worship me |
| Choice is too precious |
| To be wasted on vermin |
| That’s how we’ll keep them |
| Sheltered, fetal, fed and glutted |
| The sweet drug of anesthesia |
| Hell is easy to find |
| And I know that in time they’ll be glad I kept them blind |
| I will save you, I will absolve you |
| I will spare you, I will rob you |
| I’ll take upon me the canker of knowledge |
| I’ll take upon me the fetid price of glory |
| How great it is, the transcendent goodness |
| The self-assurance of the pure |
| Suffering eases at the gates |
| And laughter ceases at the gates |
| Someone above you always knows better than you |
| There’s something comforting in the stranglehold of a shepherd’s crook |
| How great it is, the transcendent goodness |
| The self-assurance of the pure |
| Not one misstep, not one mistake |
| All calculated for our sake |
| Like children we’ll step into the fire |
