Hester Prynne Lyrics
your vision of a new life was impure
gave into temptation and threw away what you believed
your immaculate state of mind was only temporary
your faults your flaws got the best of you
your commitment, your pledge to another human being
was destoryed through curiosity
your goal in life is far out of reach
you'll find yourself out of luck
branded into your chest - domestic livestock
society kept track of your defiance
branded into your chest - domestic livestock
terror embedded into your thick mind
bearing your emblem with pride
plagued by its purpose in genesis
subsequently flaunting its meaning
your vision of a new life was impure
gave into temptation and threw away what you believed
infestation
roc-a-way
your immaculate state of mind was only temporary
your faults your flaws got the best of you
your guard was let down
your past turned against you
gave into temptation and threw away what you believed
your immaculate state of mind was only temporary
your faults your flaws got the best of you
was destoryed through curiosity
your goal in life is far out of reach
you'll find yourself out of luck
society kept track of your defiance
branded into your chest - domestic livestock
bearing your emblem with pride
plagued by its purpose in genesis
subsequently flaunting its meaning
gave into temptation and threw away what you believed
your faults your flaws got the best of you
your past turned against you

Just read The Scarlet Letter and you'll know what this song is about.
The 'infestation" breakdown is fucking outta this world. God, I love this band.
And yeah, read The Scarlett Letter. :D
i agree with u guys it is awesomne
wat is the scarlet letter
its a book, and a very good book to check out
definitely, the infestation breakdown IS out of this world. great tune.
Hester Prynne is the main character of The Scarlet Letter. she committed adultery, so hence all of the lyrics pointing towards giving into temptation and commitments to others being destroyed by curiosity. the 'Scarlet Letter' in the book was a big 'A' on Hester Prynne's chest (A for Adultery, obviously) and also so everyone in the community could know how bad of a person she was, hence the lines "society kept track of your defiance / branded into your chest". to be honest i have no idea what domestic livestock has to do with this song though haha
nvr read the book but i love this song... the livestock comes in because u brand livestock jus like she was branded
Read the scarlet letter.not just to understand the song but seriously read it. its a pain in the ass to read but it is excellent along with the song
just received The Scarlet Letter, ordered it for 1p and it took 1 day to arrive haha, looooovely.
