Lyrics Pietà - Toothgrinder

Pietà

A dagger drops like a pin in the moonlight
Spoon fed, forked tongue, Jubilee birthright
Charismatic doctrine of the king of the limelight
Sacrifice the conceptual led kite
Mary!
Oh Mary!
So where have you been?
I’ve heard of Marduk & the Oedipus grin
What happened to the rules of engagement?
Work hard, play hard, starve hard, sacrifice
Well Up!
Crawl Up!
Tear Up!
The coward in the bed
Fake Art!
Fake Art!
Fake Art!
The syndrome of the dead
Well Up!
Crawl Up!
Tear Up!
The coward in the bed, the syndrome of the dead
Peeling through cracks in time, prism in hand
The King of limelight sacrifice, a brooding heart in stone
Go ahead and start the fake art war
And Michelangelo he played my heart in Rome
Play the victim, die the victim, go ahead and start the fake art war
I’m only man, a chord and chance, a shell in sand
The King of limelight sacrifice, a brooding heart in stone
Go ahead and start the fake art war
And Michelangelo he played my heart in Rome
Play the victim, die the victim, go ahead and start the fake art war
The eyes of Marduk are the archetype!
The eyes of Marduk are the archetype!
As it pulls me under once again
And I will meet you in the void (And I will meet you in the void…)
Well Up!
Crawl Up!
Tear Up!
The coward in the bed
Fake Art!
Fake Art!
Fake Art!
The syndrome of the dead
Well Up!
Crawl Up!
Tear Up!
The coward in the bed, the syndrome of the dead
