lyrics

The gates have been open, we're off for the feast.
Lend me your hand and we'll lift up this beast.
Light up your lantern, the hour is late.
What's in his belly will be on your plate.
 
Voices fill those who need to be fed.
Stare at the King, with a fistful of bread.
What's in the stomach, has burst into flames.
Our throats are burned, but nothing has changed.
 
Our mouths have shrunken and shriveled in size.
Stretched by consumption when we were alive.
This passion and trust, not easily earned.
We'll take you with us, when we return.
 
This racket and ruckus, I've seen it before.
Inflicting persuasion you cannot ignore.
Nothing can fill what's empty inside.
Slamming the gates, forever denied.
