• some men deserve death
    those men are like a putrid plague
    others deserve freedom
    which passes ungranted
    however they may beg

    But I know a man
    who is neither here nor there
    this man deserves a fate
    no being has the strength to bear

    A plague of rancid puss?
    no, this man deserves far worse
    He is vile in his ways and thus
    his punishment will be perverse

    for a fortnight we will cut him up
    piece by piece by piece
    for a fortnight we will watch him bleed
    only in death will the savagery cease

    and in the dark he'll scream a name
    and from the night there'll be no reply
    satisfying sanguine serenity spreads
    his pleading is my lullaby
