Smile for me And give me your hand This sweet little innocence Shall be rotten to the core Just another match Predetermined to burn its own kin You will grant them the power of him And spit on their ashes Feed the silence with roaring blazes Scatter the ashes into the four corners of the world The gift of the pyre Descend into war for souls with thousands of others Mark with the symbol of mercy Bind with the unseen And take no hostages The rhythm of the gospel A structure of terror Words deadlier than swords Take the fall into the pits Where virtue and sin Become the one Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood Load the gun Sharpen the cleaver Despise the fellow man And take no hostages Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood Away, together, yet alone, together I saw a man in robes He said to me Your lord is the kingdom A flock of slaves Gathered to bid his will The lies have bound them to the chains No remorse Bury the sword In your brother’s throat And kiss goodbye to your children The web grows thick Thread by thread It will make you His prisoner You will thank me You will praise us Sing hymns To the murdered I know you’ll be A happy slave The richest beggar Take the fall into the pits Where virtue and sin Become the Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood Smile for her and take all her trust This blank state shall be written in blood
