[Verse 1]

Parched with thirst

Our cup overfloweth

With the crimson milk

Of human blindness

In charnel towers

Of ivory besieged

The bones of subjugation

Are picked clean

[Pre-Chorus 1]

In barren decadence

Tears are the only affluence

Welling eyes are indifferent

As the blind bleed

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Blood and tears

Out damn spot out

The fruits of perpetual decay

Pouring the salt in open wounds

Out damn spot out

The scars remain

Will stay perpetual decay

[Chorus]

Bloody hands never wash clean

Abject misery to bleed

Decadence to feed

Out damn spot out

[Verse 2]

Parched with thirst

How the other half die

Void of compassion

Our cup runs dry

With a silver spoon born

To dig communal graves

The only consecration

The economics of pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]

In barren decadence

Tears are the fuel of affluence

Wells of blood run diffluent

A bitter harvest to reap

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Blood and tears

Out damn spot out

The fruits of perpetual decay

Pouring the salt in open wounds

Out damn spot out

The scars remain

Will stay perpetual decay

[Chorus]

Bloody hands never wash clean

Abject misery to bleed

Decadence to feed

Out damn spot

[Chorus]

Bloody hands never wash clean

Abject misery to bleed

Decadence to feed

Out damn spot out
