TOURNIQUET lyrics : "Drawn And Quartered"

[Words & music - Kirkpatrick]
[2 Samuel 24:14, Psalm 103:4]


Deliver to me the thieves, the murderers
And those with whom I find no fault
Just give me bodies - and the means to kill

It matters not who is guilty, who is innocent
It only matters where my fancy leads me
I live to please myself as you blood spills out

When you expire - there's a hundred more:

All who came to see - the curious, the morbid

Nero decides their fate - the arena becomes an $$#orted
Spectacle played out en masse
You soul means nothing, your pain even less

As your loved one plead for my forgiveness
Not an ounce of mercy will I give out


Bind the ropes, set the horses afoot
Wailing crise, limbs torn out by the root
Entertaining drunken guests as the Christians are martyred

Crimes so petty - the result - drawn and quartered
The result - drawn and quartered


How can it be, as my own death is imminent
That you, oh Lord, still love me
A life in the pleasure of torture and murder

I can't understand it - I can't understand
