All Lined Up

Lyrics

I see them all lined up
 Like naked children at the wall
 Their skin is hanging off in sheets
 Each face is painted like a whore
 Their blood is shining in the sun
 Their wounds are powdered with white salt
 Their lips are shaping silent words
 I see my name as it spills out
 I see them walking on their knees
 Led in a chain by laughing girls
 I see them sucking on the dirt
 As if inhaling the whole world
 And, one by one, their throats are cut
 And each one sings his choking song
 Each one sings his lullaby
 And each one falls and then, he's gone
 And I feel good
 Yeah, I feel fine
 Yeah, I feel good
 And I've been waiting far too long
 ♪
 I see their bodies in the pyre
 Leaking black smoke into the flames
 And all the people stand around
 Shaping lips into my name
 And soon, the sun begins to sink
 Behind a wall of dirty air
 I see their bones there in the pile
 And taste the smell of burning hair
 And all the children howl for milk
 The rain spits down a million knives
 I see you running through the field
 
 I see you running for your useless life
 I feel you choking on your tongue
 I feel your breath attack your chest
 The dogs are ripping at your feet
 I see you bleeding out your happiness
 And I feel good
 Yeah, I feel fine
 Yeah, I feel good
 I finally got back what was always, rightfully, mine
