Whip Named Lash

The temperature's rising, it's winner take all You crawl through the quicksand But you stumble and fall Now the bird's in the bush And his cheek's in the trash You're on the end of a whip A whip named lash If you wanna look inside If you wanna pry real hard Peaking in Pandora's box Do you wanna play that card? She picks you up easy And throws you down hard You walk through her wasteland Thrice humbled and scarred Then she lays it out sleazy And shows you the gash She's on the end of a whip A whip named lash If you wanna look inside If you wanna pry real hard Peaking in Pandora's box Do you wanna play that card? Out where the dust blows dry Come taste the open sky Marching to the sound of Children's songs Lullaby's Life and death Come praise his name As you draw your last breath Now the atmosphere's flaming, it's coming to boil Mirage in the desert The blood of the soil Now the Gods at the gate Getting ready to bash They're on the end of a whip A whip named lash If you wanna look inside If you wanna pry real hard Peaking in Pandora's box Do you wanna play that card? Come on now, first to fade Come join the mad parade As we march along, proud Singing loud Singing strong, we pray God speed Our slow decay
