Suffer No More

If it’s not now, it’s yet to come
The pain in the painting isn’t done
The readiness is all
The last hurrah, the curtain call

The bitter church of the new today
The best and the worst of the poison way
It ain’t no shame, but a shame for you
The lie came up, and the lie was true

The puritans of the torture tide
With a cattle prod, so open wide
Hung on the magic meat hook trick
Killed with a cure, but never sick
This good-for-nothing nothing good
Dirt that hides beneath my hood

Bump and bruise on the bitter storm
In the tyranny of the uninformed

I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick
See my celluloid eyes
I bruise, I break, I bleed, I will rise
Pearls lost in my pain
Like tears in rain
Sacrifice and suffer no more
Suffer no more

I hear the note of death you sing
Strangled in the noose you spin
Between the tears that never dry
The stones you fling and the long goodbye

Buy yourself with your own fuck money
In streetwalk city come strut with honey
Kiss the lip gloss drip disaster
Oh, my slave and master

I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick
See my celluloid eyes
I bruise, I break, I bleed, I will rise
Pearls lost in my pain
Like tears in rain
Sacrifice and suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Sacrifice and suffer no more

Uh huh, uh huh

Suffer no more
Uh huh
Suffer no more
Uh huh

Be my tabernacle and my proof
I’m the prostitute of truth
The fashion is infection
Testament to misdirection

Just a sight, just a sign
To touch the hem of the divine
With secret words, the soiled skin
Your secret god could take me in

I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick
See my celluloid eyes
I bruise, I break, I bleed, I will rise
Pearls lost in my pain
Like tears in rain
Sacrifice and suffer no more

I’m sick, I’m sick, I’m sick
See my celluloid eyes
I bruise, I break, I bleed, I will rise
Pearls lost in my pain
Like tears in rain
Sacrifice and suffer no more
Suffer no more
Sacrifice and suffer no more
Suffer no more
Sacrifice and suffer no more
Suffer no more
Sacrifice and suffer no more

Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
Suffer no more
