Hot Knives And Open Sores Lyrics - Healing Through Fire - Orange Goblin

Scars for the living 

A ditch for the dead 

We try to remember to drink to forget 

Fools for our choices 

Tools for the trade 

We busy our hands as we bury the slain 

Morbid derision 

Sadistic release 

Starving the pigs in the belly of the beast 

The sky looks so hungry 

The future looks bleak 

The soil of the Earth will inherit the meek

Mass affliction of the chosen 

Now the sacred vows are broken 

Will they stand to be confronted? 

Now the hunters are the hunted 

Red-hot knives, open sores 

Surgeons busy doing surgeons chores 

Numb with whiskey, sealed with tar 

Devil's stitches leave no scar 

Ancient gods look to ancient suns 

Ancient medicines in ancient slums 

Masks of horror hide the shame 

Roman doctrines can only ease the pain 

Shattered sunrise, mercy calls 

Hallowed victims scream in the halls 

Filled with venom, filled with fear 

Open wounds filled with life's elixir

Will they stand to be confronted? 

Now the hunters are the hunted
