Noose & Nail

Otep · The Ascension [2007]

Your God is a fossil

Abandoned apostles

Stand and join hands to behold



Your Godless disciples

Abandon your idols

Stand and join hands to behold



Champagne, cocaine, vicodin, adderall

Nicotine, caffeine, percosets, halodol



Jesus needs his prescriptions filled

Buddha's using too many pills

Allah promises endless thrills

In volatile bottles marked

Religion kills



This is the ache we can't escape

Betrayed!

One day this could be you



(chorus)

We're just another nail in the coffin

Another knot in the noose

It's just another squeeze of the trigger

One more hue in the bruise



Champagne, cocaine, vicodin, adderall

Nicotine, caffeine, percosets, halodol



Krishna's rolling on ecstasy

Jehovah's smoking too much PCP

Mother Mary carries a junkie Messiah

Shooting smack and smoking crack

With the king of liars



This is the ache we can't escape

Betrayed!

One day this could be you



(chorus)

We're just another nail in the coffin

Another knot in the noose

It's just another squeeze of the trigger

One more hue in the bruise(x2)



This is for a lifetime

Of shit

You!



Get down and crawl, crawl.

You fucking insect!

Get down and crawl, crawl.

You fucking insect!



Get down and crawl!

Get down and crawl!



The remedy is worse then the disease.

The remedy is worse!

My life spills out just like dead flies.



Your God is a fossil

Abandoned apostles

Get down and join hands to explode



Your Godless disciples

Abandon your rifles

Get down and join hands to explode



To explode!

To explode!

To explode!



My life spills out just like dead flies!
