Lyrics Otep – Germ
Text:
The enemy of the world,
Our greatest defeat,
Slave warfare,
Our wings are almost dry and free,
Absorbing violence (pain),
Punishing pain,
Poetry is the perfume of the soul (no fear, no god, alternate staces take me places, the world, enemy),
Nightmare babies, fire gods,
Speaking of dream time serpants,
And walking with the elder dead,
Fear me mortal (fear me),
Fear me,
Feed my disease,
Feed my disease (the taste of fear in the seventh phase of the disease),
And in tiny little houses,
On tiny little streets (everythings normal, everythings not ok, it’s normal),
Voices raise and (as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me),
Fear is alive (as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me),
And laughter,
He’s knows tolerance (don’t forget me),
She only knows loneliness (not you, not you, not you),
And in my blackness of sleep,
Savages dance and scream,
But only truth is suffering,
Bleeding like embryos (but only truth is suffering),
Starving with dreams (life, blood),
You, single cell are commerse,
Whoa, what happened to you last night?
You’ve given up without a fight,
And learned the words they say receit,
Punishing pain,
Poetry is the perfume of the soul (no fear, no god, alternate staces take me places, the world, enemy),
Nightmare babies, fire gods,
Speaking of dream time serpants,
And walking with the elder dead,
Fear me mortal (fear me),
Fear me,
Feed my disease,
Feed my disease (the taste of fear in the seventh phase of the disease),
And in tiny little houses,
On tiny little streets (everythings normal, everythings not ok, it’s normal),
Voices raise and (as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me),
Fear is alive (as long as you’re under my roof you will respect me),
And laughter,
He’s knows tolerance (don’t forget me),
She only knows loneliness (not you, not you, not you),
And in my blackness of sleep,
Savages dance and scream,
But only truth is suffering,
Bleeding like embryos (but only truth is suffering),
Starving with dreams (life, blood),
You, single cell are commerse,
Whoa, what happened to you last night?
You’ve given up without a fight,
And learned the words they say receit,
You killed the flower that blossoms in the night,
Smothered and crushed,
Rage gives way to a little giggle and sudden blush,
And in my molecules, the vast eternity of invention (can you smell my fever mama? can you smell my poor veins?),
Infected with the good disease,
Intellect, rebellion,
Finding the need in every single one,
…of you,
What’s a matter you don’t like it when I touch you?
Come here,
Don’t run, don’t run,
Hand me babies and nightmare gods,
I will shed my skin (but I can’t get his sins off of me),
He prefers pain to pretty,
Death to daughter,
To the shivering creature that lay beneath him,
I will not be want you want me to be,
I will not be want you want me to be (nothings changed, go away, go away),
People are evil and girls hate each other,
Oh great devour of the dead,
I will know my demons names,
I will conquer them,
I will rise (rise),
I will…fight,
Why?
Coming…
Salvation…
This is my holy war,
We come to you like desert warriors,
Fresh from the cool dew of night,
In a sea of odour,
In a tapestry of pain,
Absorbing violence,
Feasting on hopelessness,
Expand your mind,
Expand your mind,
This is our time to shine (our time to shine, our time for justice),
And out of the ashes,
Only the holy will rise,
Sweet paper messiah (die),
Sweet paper messiah,
How I sacrifice you, I sacrifice you (save me, save me),
Dear, sweet paper messiah (save me, save me, save me, save me),
My offering,
My suffering (I speak to you on behalf of all of mankind),
Whatever you need,
What…ever you need,
Whatever you…
Whatever you need,
Unite,
Messiah,
Me…
