Show me brother how it's fair, I still fail to see
That I must live my life in abstinence while you indulge, in peace
If we're in this together, in glory as in prayer
Then why is it that my cross is, so much heavier to bear?
Than yours
Rip it, rend it, tear it, right out
Slit it, spend it, share it, ‘til there's nothing
Left to give, so they can live
Pierce it, stab it, hack it, pry it open
Silver, platter, plate it
So that I may do it all, over and over again
Lavish statements, bold and arrogant
To say that this is something, you can't live without
But when it’s time to pay in blood
You're nowhere to be found
Time to pay in blood (Stab it)
Blood (Hack it)
Blood (Pry it open)
Rip it, rend it, tear it, right out
Slit it, spend it, share it, ‘til there's nothing
Left to give, so they can live
Pierce it, stab it, hack it, pry it open
Silver, platter, plate it
So that I may do it all over and over again
Savor the view from your tower of ivory
While I lay here alone in the dark
Feast your eyes while I'm down here starving
