Description
There’s a place upon a bayBuilt of cement and rope upon soil
We’ve installed gutters that flow with muck
To separate blood from oil
Its baron sits upon a throne
Of solid bone and marrow,
He keeps a blade upon his palm
And hides within a shadow
There's a smell beneath the floors
And a darkness that is stiff,
There are echoes from the chambers
That are hanging off of cliffs
A man behind his wretched iron
Stripped, with a bag ‘round his head
He sometimes screams as the floor
Is stained with his deepest red
An army breaks down the door,
To reap you of your bread
Those soldiers sleep with nothing
But broken bricks in their bed
There is a price you can’t pay
And prayers that should be said
We break your filthy, martyred flesh
But take your pride instead.

Good lord, kid - you are so damn deep. I have always felt as though I am talking to an old soul in a baby grrl's body.
