What you call danger?
How 'bout the kind that trains ya?
Strangle better angels 'fore they hang ya?
Albatrossed neck of the hangman
Exposed upon the permacross
Shakin'
Second coming paused
Bones of Bethlehem vacant
Center set ablaze
Paid Copernicost
Aching
Window of the widow
Eyes of molotov
Break in
Trampled under footprint of denial's crop
Tainted
Smiles as the letter leads the spirit lost
Fragments
Colour fades as hero greets the final boss
Flagrant
Played us
Shoulda skinned you when I had the chance
Blame list growing
Overflowing
Flaccid
Rosencrantz
Faking
Over lying Erinyes of circumstance
Sacred
Terrified alive
Know what I'm thinkin'?

Death don't fear dyin'
Life's the stupid man's wager
Beset by the venom of the scorpion's nature
Infinite danger
Fear the threats of your saviour
Infinite danger
Old friends
Imminent strangers

Death don't fear dyin'
Life's the stupid man's wager
Beset by the venom of the scorpion's nature
Infinite danger
Fear the threats of your saviour
Infinite danger
Old friends
Imminent strangers

Would you call danger?
Rouge shellac on the manger
Born dead
Death is just an anchor
An acronym's reflection
Coded sanctums
Each secretes a different face upon their tomb
Noppera-bo mon frere
The lichen grows regardless who
Blank pistols drawn at dusk into the dust
We boom and bust inside this zoo inside a zoo inside a zoo inside a zoo

And STILL the rent due
This whole existence et tu?
Brutalist
Violent
Clues choking on answers
Adams spring forth through the chasm
Violate the garden
Crack a snake's head over an apple
Drink in the chords of silence
Implore the virus
Don those ancient curse words for the sake of fabric
A willing offer to those poor emaciated tablets
Life my addiction
Help me kick the habit

Death don't fear dyin'
Life's the stupid man's wager
Beset by the venom of the scorpion's nature
Infinite danger
Feed the threats of your saviour
Infinite danger
Old friends
Imminent strangers

Death don't fear dyin'
Life's the stupid man's wager
Beset by the venom of the scorpion's nature
Infinite danger
Feed the threats of your saviour
Infinite danger
Imminent strangers
