[Verse 1]
Parched with thirst
Our cup overfloweth
With the crimson milk
Of human blindness
In charnel towers
Of ivory besieged
The bones of subjugation
Are picked clean

[Pre-Chorus 1]
In barren decadence
Tears are the only affluence
Welling eyes are indifferent
As the blind bleed

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Blood and tears
Out damn spot out
The fruits of perpetual decay
Pouring the salt in open wounds
Out damn spot out
The scars remain
Will stay perpetual decay

[Chorus]
Bloody hands never wash clean
Abject misery to bleed
Decadence to feed
Out damn spot out
[Verse 2]
Parched with thirst
How the other half die
Void of compassion
Our cup runs dry
With a silver spoon born
To dig communal graves
The only consecration
The economics of pain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
In barren decadence
Tears are the fuel of affluence
Wells of blood run diffluent
A bitter harvest to reap

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Blood and tears
Out damn spot out
The fruits of perpetual decay
Pouring the salt in open wounds
Out damn spot out
The scars remain
Will stay perpetual decay

[Chorus]
Bloody hands never wash clean
Abject misery to bleed
Decadence to feed
Out damn spot
[Chorus]
Bloody hands never wash clean
Abject misery to bleed
Decadence to feed
Out damn spot out
