Soul Auctioneer Lyrics
The lynch mob they hide from the infinite hole
As judge genocide's executioner goes
To crucify venus in cinemascope
The narcotic preachers are happy
High priest the mesmorous, the soul auctioneer
Sells scorpion tight-ropes, while surfing on fear
His necropolis users, The scourge of the queer
He is married to the truth-incinerator
There are hands in my pockets
Pulling at my spine
Eggs bearing insects
Hatching in my mind
The stones in my shoes get
Sharper all the time
In the soft sick underbelly
In the carcass of these times
I fly in my head, leave terminal narcosis
A poisoned mind will make you blind
Beware of trojan horses
A dead head, a blunt needle
You've broken your wings
You've lost your demon
Drop the bomb, spread the virus
Marxist priests teach defiance
Change through violence
There are hands in my pockets
Pulling at my spine
Eggs bearing insects
Hatching in my mind
The stones in my shoes get
Sharper all the time
In the soft sick underbelly
In the carcass of these times
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
Demon, demon, demon, demon
Demoooon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
Demon, demon, demon, demon
Demoooooon-yeah
As judge genocide's executioner goes
To crucify venus in cinemascope
The narcotic preachers are happy
Sells scorpion tight-ropes, while surfing on fear
His necropolis users, The scourge of the queer
He is married to the truth-incinerator
Pulling at my spine
Eggs bearing insects
Hatching in my mind
The stones in my shoes get
Sharper all the time
In the soft sick underbelly
In the carcass of these times
A poisoned mind will make you blind
Beware of trojan horses
A dead head, a blunt needle
You've broken your wings

Marxist priests teach defiance
Change through violence
Pulling at my spine
Eggs bearing insects
Hatching in my mind
The stones in my shoes get
Sharper all the time
In the soft sick underbelly

You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
Demon, demon, demon, demon
Demoooon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
You've broken your wings, you've lost your demon
Demon, demon, demon, demon
Demoooooon-yeah

I posted these lyrics way over a year ago, but I've only recently properly /listened/ to the song, taking in the lyrics...
I originally thought it would be about drugs (The chorus especially strikes me as some of the hallucination type effects of LSD) However, these lines:
A dead head, a blunt needle You've broken your wings You've lost your demon
make me think of not /having/ drugs (When you need them)... blunt needle so you can't insert the drugs broken wings, can't get high. lost your demon - in the 'drugs are my demon' sense.
(Also, I love "The narcotic preachers are happy" line ;))
I don't think that it has anything to do with drugs. The song has two parts. In the first part describes modern society and the fearmonging clergy. It says that they are the same as the lynch mobs of the past and the crucify Venus (the goddess of lust) making a spectacle out of it. The high priest is the soul auctioneer who surfs on fear and the followers are the necropolis users. Then the journey becomes constantly more difficult because of hands pulling back, ideas that poison the mind and the way that becomes sharper.
In the next part of the song is the awakening. He leaves the terminal narcosis realizing that he was blind and there were undetected dangers. But the head (the head of the faith?) is dead, and it is just a blunt needle now, with broken wings and missing its demon (a word play with dear, probably an other reference to fear). Now for him there are marxist "priests" teaching defiance and change through violence (revolution?).
This is what I'm getting from the song. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Basically, there's a bunch of dumb people trying to hide from some dark "thing" while some one below someone else in power is working to destroy anything "good" from distubing it, which is deemed as good because anyone trying to change that "thing" could end up making it worse. As that's going on, a person misusing his spiritual power is using the fear of these people to get what he wants because he knows no one will stand up to it so he says what the hell i'll...

As that's going on, a person misusing his spiritual power is using the fear of these people to get what he wants because he knows no one will stand up to it so he says what the hell i'll just use all these people cause they're too dumb to understand anyway.
The writer of the song is observing the situation saying to himself what the hell, i've got all these ideas about how to change things but everytime i try and do that i always run into obstacles cause this crappy situation is so bad in the first place, and i should have known better, and now that most of us have just lost everything completely there's no sense in trying to change a damn thing.
Something like that. Something along the lines of.....someone's in control of all this crap and someone else is working to prevent anyone from changing it and I'm just trying to make my own way and if you feel the same the best advice I can give you is not to lose your head. But chances are you already have, and now that you've been exposed to all this garbage, try and do something to change it.
I'd love to know the actual meaning behind the song, but you'd have to ask the band to explain, which they may not have time to do.
