lyrics

Salvation

violence of salvation
buff angels dressed like thugs
he was naked on the floor
still glossy eyed with drugs

they came here to help him
at least that’s what they said
then they hosed him down so hard
he passed out on the bed

a purgatory for the fool
nailed against our golden rule
he will learn how to amass
tough love gonna save his ass

oh the whiff of power
that his brute salvation gave
we were holy jailers now
and him our pleading slave

once he had been purified
then we could lift his soul
or maybe more importantly
his broken pride our goal

chorus

yes he tried to tell us
the bindings fit too tight
but we were his angel lords
and he passed in the night

i went down to see him
all decked out in the box
finally he’d been exorcised
and rescued from the pox

chorus
