(Now We See) The Swine lyrics

I'm blind, constricted AS I watch them The swine, they are about you Vying for your solitary pearls And flowers Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows They are about us I'm blind, constricted As I watch them Pawing at you How quickly they quiver And a-tremble Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows They are about us Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows Oh, that's just what I'm told It only takes a silken handkerchief Amid the sackcloth Oh, how they pin you to the wall How they breathe their fetid breath Upon you She would turn away her head But there are rough hewn hands That rip her face And words that are the coldest Deepest thrill of death When death becomes a bullish creature Down on their haunches Bloody in their meat and merciless Tonight they wish to dine upon That double-backed beast Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows They are about us Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows Oh, that's just what I'm told Upon the altar They are the shakers running shows Oh, that's just what I'm told
