Angry clouds seem to follow me, the crown has fallen from my head, the lost gather in my bedroom to see the prince hung up by his hands, the wind tears the roof off of my house, children fell under the wood, my closest friends are turning mute, they took the young to grind them down, I will not be spoken for I know my desire,I know the liars hissin' again, You can leave me nothing, take that away, our fathers have sinned and are not, shovel red dirt upon my head and lead me into darkness, deny bread and water to the sinner our mothers are as widows, You can leave me nothing, take that away give our inheritance to strangers, block the stars from my eyes our prayers won't pass the clouds, shun the sun and it's flowers throwing dust on my head, burn down the thistle kick the weak, hissing and gnashing I'm spittin out flies, my tongue it sticks to the roof for thirst, take away my honest friends, take away my friends, I will not be spoken for I know my desire, I know the liars hissin', again, I know my desire, trampled underfoot, in a starving horses rib cage cover me
