lyrics

There's a candle with no wick
In the eyes of many makes the candle useless
There were lines of desperation, showed us all just where you've been
Now there's a skin graft and an awkward skeleton

A dog with a bone
Night cloaked in a veil
The angel who was devil
Blind mans feet and nine inch nails

There's a finger dipped in blood
Writing scriptures on a mirror
The mirror and the scripture
All written in your lust
Madness sadness
All all that good stuff
Wrapped up in their politics
Wrapped up in their love
Wrapped up in the scripture
That you've written on the mirror
That you've written in your blood
The mirror and the scripture
Written with their lust

A dog with a bone
And the peeling of skin
Monkeys and your prophets
Redemption and your sins

A manicured hand in the till
And a savage rape on that cross on the hill
A circle of old men throwing stones at the ill
And a savage hatred that we hold in our hands still

A dog with a bone
Night cloaked in a veil
The angel who was devil
Blind mans feet and nine inch nails

A dog with a bone
Night cloaked in a veil
The angel who was devil
Blind mans feet and nine inch nails
