Remix by The Shudder Club

Cat: DSBP#1070

lyrics

you took
you removed all that was pure & right
you tore it all down
& replaced it with this hole
& i sit here
wracked with fear of the surrounds
of the disease
you took everything away…
wind back the hands of time

i am poisoned by the stain
of this chemical halo
neurotic from the sickness
as the blade slips in
like the leper said:
“reduce, distil, purify, teach”
this cancerous exorcism
of all that you stole from me
you took everything away…
wind back the hands of time

i am poisoned by the stain
you took everything away…
you took everything away

wind back the hands of time
[reduce distil purify teach]
[this cancerous exorcism]
[all that you took from me]
[rain, rain wash away]
[purifies the sin]
[the horror of the expectation]
[razor slipping in]
wind back the hands of time.
