Elephants Never Forget

Take a little look behind the curtain
If you dare
If you are certain?
Gaze up a perversion
Cross my palm
A penny will buy you a soul

Pain, the only thing it feels
Bury your shame
We are all friends here
Ladies and not so gentlemen
A specimen so disturbing
Behold our beast of burden!
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I rеmember, I remеmber another way
I remember, long before humanity

Must've disappointed it's father
Does it have an elephant mother?
Should we take it over to the gallows?
Why's it hiding in the shadows?

He, hidden by a veil of misery
Woven by a thousand threads of ire
Forced to live a life of
Secrecy in abnormality

If I should fail in pleasing you
Could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul?
Could I be treasured in your home?
Take me

I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity

I feel something inside of me
The noble beast of dignity
The see the symbol in my hand
Leviathan of Doggerland

Tell me who I am
Pull me from the sand
Help me understand
Take my hand

Maketh me lie down beside the water's edge
Leadeth me through paths of righteousness
Thou art with me, thy rod and staff comfort me
In the presence of my enemies

Heavy I drag my footsteps
Jackals prowl a dog-draped, could Whitechapel
Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons
Ancient soldiers stand in apparition

Behind the curtain in the corner of the room
Pathetic specimen you cower in the gloom

Heavy I drag my footsteps
Jackals prowl a dog-draped, could Whitechapel
Mammoth ghosts tusk my demons
Ancient soldiers stand in apparition
I, hidden by a veil of dignity
Woven by a thousand threads of ire
I choose to live a life of
Secrecy in my ascendancy

If I should fail in pleasing you
Could I create myself anew?
Would I be measured by my soul?
Could I be treasured in your home?
Take me

I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity

I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity

I remember, I remember another way
I remember, I remember a better day
I remember, I remember another way
I remember, long before humanity
I never will forget you
