MACHINE HEAD lyrics : "Pearls Before The Swine"

Lie - In this state
Of perdition
Never to awake


It negates
An admission

Stricken by fate
There's no salvation
It dwells in your bones

There's no remission
This sickness it owns
Make love to denial her sober embrace

Nails they've embedded never to release

In madness we shall reign

Down - out
In madness we shall reign


Hail our Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast

Pearls before the swine

I - numb it down

Heavens fleeting
Kiss envelops
Thee - It surrounds

So in vain we stab at the beast
Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail
No abstination relapse tip the scale

As you swallow the hook
And you chew on the line
Choke on the sinker

In this sea of lies

In madness we shall reign

Down - out
In madness we shall reign


Hail our Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast

Pearls before the swine

Broke vows and broken rosaries

Bind these rusted hopeless dreams
Broke vows and broken rosaries
Bind these rusted hands in prayer

Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely
In these killing fields


Deep in the throes of addiction
Now my blood's running black
My fixation is caught in its clutches

As the sun sets on my soul
In endless twilight
It is eclipsed


Hail our Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide

In our obsession thou cast
Pearls before the swine


Slowly we dance with temptation
Good intentions are sold
For the price of fool's gold and sedation

Take now this demon by its hand
And slice it off


Hail our Mary our divine
Littered souls across a great divide
In our obsession thou cast

Pearls before the swine

Take the ache beneath my bones

Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed
No grace awaits this broken soul
