I've seen the fire in the eyes
Of the darkest souls who own the night
And I've heard the words I despise
From the blackest mouths
In the morning light
Heathens arise
Shady tears and shifty eyes
I need a metaphor not an alibi
Pamphlets and lies
In a knapsack, suit and tie
You're not a metaphor
You're selling shit we'll never buy
Oh don't you darken my door
The midnight pariah's asleep on the floor
Narrowest minds can't refrain
But how can I sleep when you're rattling my
Chains
All your invisible plans
Misguided by these faulty hands
For your invisible friends
They always lead you to
Pitchforks and torches in the end
Oh what's the score don't you love me anymore?
I said no, no, no, not I
Oh what's the score don't you love me anymore?
I said no, no, no, no, no, not I
Selling shit we'll never buy
Chained to the top of the permanent wave
I know I'm headed now for an early grave
Out of the darkness step to the right
How can I sleep when you're rattling my
Chains
