A Pound of Flesh

A Pound of Flesh
In the lines between the lines
You'll find a Disfigured truth
Sent out to collect
Outstanding debts
When time is due
No room for bargains
Upon the terms we both agreed
The contract’s clear
One payment fails
I’ll take my strip of skin

Through blood and paper
You’re bound to me
Forever bound to suffer loss in full legality
To save yourself
You must comply
A law-abiding common folk, prepares to fucking die

All my dreams
Shattered in pieces
Drowning in tears
All my fears
Confining me
Swallowed and dragged by it

These, are the tools of the trade
Weigh, a pound of flesh
This, is the end of our trade
Hate, a pound of flesh

The blissful moment
That antecede the swing
The rusted hatchet slashes through your tender meat
The screams of pain and anger
The gift of agony
The great reward, I found it in your suffering

Through blood and paper
You’re bound to me
Forever bound to suffer loss in full legality
To save yourself
You must comply
A law-abiding common folk, prepares to fucking die

These, are the tools of the trade
Weigh, a pound of flesh
This, is the end of our trade
Hate, a pound of flesh
