The sun will rise in his eyelids
He vomits sulfur and ash
His mouth is a hellhole
His head is full of trash
Momentary seizure
Mechanical reprobates
Reprehensible reptiles
Beheaded magistrates
Merely a calloused carcass
Study the face as it breaks
Filthy proclivities pardoned
Content to see you erased
Celebrate a denial
Divisions danced in disguise
They brought the flames and some starter
Place yourself on the pyre
Momentary seizure
Mechanical reprobates
Reprehensible reptiles
Beheaded magistrates
Perched on top of the world
Looking down
Walking on eggshells
Cradling the crown
They lap it up while we drown
They lap it up while we drown
