Tied up and gagged
 
 Hooded and tagged
 
 They're all yours to command
 
  
  I am corpse, I am carrion prey
 
 I have a crow at each brow
 
 Plucking eyes in my mask of death
 
 The darkness is complete
  
 
 Who's the hooded one, mother mine?
 
 Who is gagged when all are silent?
 
 (And bitten when we move)
  
 
 Inflamed, my mask is burning
 
 The night is dead, dark
 
 Putrid flesh turning
 
 Upon a chair in the dying corner
 
 I am your bagful of fear
 
 I'll commit, I'll admit I'll be the dagger
 
 Drive me in
 
 I'll be all motionless and still
 
 My river runs within, still and deep
  
 
 I am beast, I am carrion prey
 
 To the Cyclops tribe
 
 String me up to a cherry tree
 
 Come one, come all
 
 (And hang with me I'm already hogtied
 
 Entangled in your marionette strings)
  
 
 I am dancing, the embodiment of fear
 
 A shake for every fearful tear
 
 A ruckus for the righteous
 
 In the end they no longer know
 
 (Cast stones into mirrors onto themselves)
  
 
 Mother mine, stab yourself, mother mine
 
 Bleed your own river, dark and wide
 
 Mine runs within, still and deep
 
 (Don't shake me so, it will overflow)
