The Buttress
The Iceman Cometh
[Verse 1]
I present Hellraiser level transcendence
Ghost, stalk East coast, Iceman descendant
Leave 'em with bated breath, apprehensive
As if I'm not the one who should be afraid
I'm just a dark shape like Michael, faceless
Devoid of concept, spiteful and aimless
My only purpose is to mercilessly hurt you
With mind only, no words, it's absurd but not painless
Go dumb like stoned ape, rate primitive
I know things, telekinetic power limitless
When I spit, angels fall from the sky dead
Heart in eclipse, eyes bright red tripping
Splitting wigs axe to dome, leaving minds open like Joe Rogan
You couldn't body a verse if a ghost wrote it for ya'
Straight out the hearst, first came to make memories branded from pain
So no tears please, they're a waste of good suffering
[Verse 2]
The Iceman coming
Run, the Iceman coming
No place safe, no cave, no summit
With the blood of my enemies my cup overunneth
Run, the Iceman come (Run)
The Iceman coming, so run
You can't tame me, I cannot be overcome
I don't play dirty, I'm like Xerxes
My arrows will blot out the sun (Jersey!)
[Verse 3]
It looks like I've been summoned
Who called me? I have many names
Buttress, Bethany, House of Poverty, House of Pain
Lazarus, Rise up from your grave
I command you to bring me your lame, I am the Way
I am the writing on the wall, come see
No one comes to the father except through me
Great, small
All who ask shall receive but first must go alone to find me
Deep in wilderness where I roam 'cause
Hating feels like falling to a place where I'm alone
If only I was less outrageous maybe then they'd know
What I'm saying out here, speaking tongues like J. Davis
Hard to be a God, they appeal to me for sympathy
But that part of me is gone, no longer lives in me
I'm conducting this symphony with the strength and worth of a thousand Stravinsky's
Rise like Firebird, fly like Valkyrie, you won't miss it
I come like a thief in the night, hope you're listening
It was prophecied ever since the oracle said, "Beware the Ides"
It's my right
[Outro]
That's why I'm coming in like a lion
And I'll leave like one too
And there's nothing you can do, 'cause
The Iceman's coming
It's my right
It's my right
It's my right
It's my right
It's my right
The Iceman's coming
It's my right
