lyrics

Confess! Confess!
For these sins and more sweet Jesus he wept
but the tears were all blood for the eyes had been cut
decisions silently made behind doors locked and shut
precision incisions have enhanced all our vision
its the methodic mechanics of exacting division
times running out, the bloods draining away
the tumor must go that the organs may stay
Screaming bloody murder, just push it on a little further

Out! Out! Wicked Spot!
Drain the infection and don't spill a drop
Some were lucky enough and many more were not
The saxon's will sound when the clocks have all stopped
Til then we keep digging and we don't dare stop

c'mon boys now follow me
its us against the great unseen
keep scrubbing and scrubbing
til these hands are clean

Crawling through the mud and stained with the blood
stumbling in the dark his eyes sealed shut
Watch yourself no-eyes, stay away from the roads
but five men alive that know what he knows

all the Knives all the needles, all the doctors and nurses
each body an effigy of riddles and curses
The deeper the digging the condition worsened
carving and slicing the ivory gates have all opened
drilling the holes and releasing the demons
without reason the legions committed to treason
the bodies were dusted the evidence disappeared
Keep scrubbing the floor and pretend you don't hear...
screaming bloody murder pushing it on a little further
