lyrics

Groomed on a funeral pyre and lit up like a torch,
you've got a heart pure as fire such that you burn all you touch,
but it ain't good enough, no no no
'cause somewhere, someday soon
the Sandman calls out for you,

and he'll seep inside your soul down to the marrow of your dreams,
pull your sleep into a k-hole as he's sharpening his teeth,
your shadow corpse his horse will cart through Heaven's dirty streets
and then hang baskets with your rotting carcass strung up like meat,
whilst it's bursting at the seams
with maggots, lice, all soaked in vice
and a little bile for the fleas.

So when those night mares bolt and you roll back your eyes,
and the whites are marred from the dirt of that rabble you despise,
when the truth is boiled in body fluids and fat scraped from your thighs,
you slowly come to realise you're made of water, shit, and lies,
as you look up to the skies and know
there's nothing there but empty space
and the lifeless light of life that has to die.
