Auto-da-fé

Designed solutions to a suffering that is worst than death
Constructs of pain, truly a wonder of man

Torn apart by animals for your religion
But I guess it’s slightly better than the crucifixion
Boiled in a bull as your skin is roosted
An agonizing pain for the convicted
Impaled, confined, stretched or nailed down
Suffer indignities, you will atone
Steeled, maimed or fucked to death
The result is the same your soul is cleansed

I am your god now
Your soul has been denied
I am you god now
Humanity’s improvement inside the punishment

Sit in the tub with your head sticking out
Decayed alive while the worms devour
Gutted and the testicles ripped apart
While the organs are removed one by one
Smashed to the Catherine wheel
Burned genitals and severed limbs
Hanged drowned and quartered
Divided by several parts and beheaded

I am your god now
Your fate has been sealed
I am your god now
Humanity’s improvement inside the punishment

Screaming from your disemboweled body
With not a motherfucking thing to shout
You asked the question with your tongue cut out
Am I finally dead or still alive
