lyrics
revel in my dementia,
locked in my microphone,
the jester on the stage,
promotes his mind control.
I find no peace in moonlight,
before the world is born,
the lion in the stable,
I came to twist the thorn.
these days it's all the same,
nothing not said before,
your face belies the fact,
you're too scared to start the war.
refuse to be a hero,
that's not why I was born,
I spit at your salvation,
I come to twist the thorn.
hold your silence,
mercenary,
hold your aliegence,
I came to twist, the thorn.
you can't ignore the science,
your dogma makes no sense,
You can't be my messiah,
as you rob men of happiness.
the future as you see it,
just makes me feel forlorn,
ode to a standard bearer,
I come to twist, the thorn.
locked in my microphone,
the jester on the stage,
promotes his mind control.
I find no peace in moonlight,
before the world is born,
the lion in the stable,
I came to twist the thorn.
these days it's all the same,
nothing not said before,
your face belies the fact,
you're too scared to start the war.
refuse to be a hero,
that's not why I was born,
I spit at your salvation,
I come to twist the thorn.
hold your silence,
mercenary,
hold your aliegence,
I came to twist, the thorn.
you can't ignore the science,
your dogma makes no sense,
You can't be my messiah,
as you rob men of happiness.
the future as you see it,
just makes me feel forlorn,
ode to a standard bearer,
I come to twist, the thorn.
