Lyrics
I wake up to the sound of a hanging man

As he hears glorious music

My lips taste like regret

But the mouth tastes like victory

Smile or suffer the common dread

So many people in my way

Rooting for the guy's departure

There is but one more day

For him to last the war of attrition

So many fucking insects!

Now look here, man

I don't suppose you are patient

Time for you to join the audience

We're gonna see...

Silence that's violent

The noose around his neck

Looks thicker from this distance

It might be all a blur

But the signs are certainly there

Last Judgment, how does that work?

What purpose can that serve!?

He dangles there on the torture device

His eyes and jaw seem separate from his head

Mixed reactions were had

When the countdown finally commenced

Commenced!

Now look here, man

I don't suppose you are patient

Time for you to join the audience

We're about to see...

Silence that's violent

Look here, man

I don't suppose you're patient

Time for you to join the audience

We just watched...

We just watched...

Violence that's silent!!
