nothings changed
the senates still corrupt
& the emporer remains insane
and everyday
is a new strain of slaughter
supply lines are less protected
evil on all sides
eye can smell the death on your flesh
-- creeping in
trapped within the twisting fingers of fear
and all eye see is ewe
that face
those eyes
burning like leprosy
eye can see u there
poisoning the air
prostituting Nationalism
and eye want to attack
to rip out your heart and lay your flat on your back
and vomit a world of agony and truth
into your throbbing illness of memory
... and hate guides our way
eye long for the icy slap of a belt across my back
for the acceptance of death and blind cave war
the giving sleep of depression
the sweet elucidation of savage, meaningless aggression
chiseled in the meaty forearms of Mother Jupiter and his slave disciples
in the harem tents - outside
just beyond the edges - eye ride
a cycloptic mare in the fires of imagination
feeding my disease
a river of plagues
eye need something to remind me eye am still sinning
that pain in important
that wurdz matter
that healing in possible
that eye am not alone ... in this
- guard the houses
- triple the watch
- maidens, dig up your sorcery
- sirens, sharpen your rocks
... ewe will eat my pain again
whatever u need
unite messiah ME

does this really count as a song? it's more like it's just creepy dialogue. still brilliant, especially her final scream at the end. it's like she's just talking out her problems to anyone who is listening, and then finally she just gets so frustrated and just wants everything to stop.
Otep is amazing. I adore this song especially. she is god. it's more of a dialogue...it's awesome. badass.
Considering this song was released before "The Village" this is pretty irrelevant; or insightful. Take it however you please. But I cannot listen to this song without having at least a few flashbacks of that crappy movie. Particularly the last 4 lines. "Guard the houses" the entire village was nothing but houses housing residents. "Triple the watch" aka watching for those of whom we don't speak. "Maidens dig up your sorcery" I can't help but think of the costume that couple had hidden under their floorboards in which they eventually had to "dig up". "Sirens sharpen your rocks" in other words the men at the bells around the town are to prepare for another invasion by those of whom we don't speak.
I think it's her perception of current politics, or just any system where the leaders pretend that everything's perfectly fine so they don't have to see the plight of the suffering
Its simply about how corrupt, diminishing, lieing that all this country's government does. i think we need to restart and refirbrish the government and make it less crappy.
