Whip Named Lash
The temperature's rising, it's winner take all
You crawl through the quicksand
But you stumble and fall
Now the bird's in the bush
And his cheek's in the trash
You're on the end of a whip
A whip named lash
If you wanna look inside
If you wanna pry real hard
Peaking in Pandora's box
Do you wanna play that card?
She picks you up easy
And throws you down hard
You walk through her wasteland
Thrice humbled and scarred
Then she lays it out sleazy
And shows you the gash
She's on the end of a whip
A whip named lash
If you wanna look inside
If you wanna pry real hard
Peaking in Pandora's box
Do you wanna play that card?
Out where the dust blows dry
Come taste the open sky
Marching to the sound of
Children's songs
Lullaby's
Life and death
Come praise his name
As you draw your last breath
Now the atmosphere's flaming, it's coming to boil
Mirage in the desert
The blood of the soil
Now the Gods at the gate
Getting ready to bash
They're on the end of a whip
A whip named lash
If you wanna look inside
If you wanna pry real hard
Peaking in Pandora's box
Do you wanna play that card?
Come on now, first to fade
Come join the mad parade
As we march along, proud
Singing loud
Singing strong, we pray
God speed
Our slow decay
