Set Fire On The Shrub
Silence, the man says
as the child comes through
with words he'd never use
the coiled up viper
gripping his neck
he struggles
all the tiny monsters
the lizard mentioned
aren't the worry
but the giants
on mount olympus
odin and zeus
hercules and thor
jesus and his crown of thorns
they're all the same
he just doesn't see it
because he's blinded by faith
save me from my blasphemous nature
save me for i am a sinner
as the child comes through
with words he'd never use
the coiled up viper

he struggles

hercules and thor
jesus and his crown of thorns
they're all the same

because he's blinded by faith
save me from my blasphemous nature
save me for i am a sinner
