Stronger than reason
Stronger than lies
The only truth I know
Is the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes!
Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favourite weapon
Is the look in your eyes
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
There's a ton locked in your empty eyes
Get out of my life!
I'm chewing on glass
And eating my fingers
I'm not the one
Who's run out of lies
Lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of time!
Cutting my face
And walking on splinters
I lost my soul
To the look in your eyes
Your eyes!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of time!
Stigmata!
O, you have empty eyes!...
They tell me nothing, nothing but lies
Stronger than lies
The only truth I know
Is the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes!
Just like a car crash
Just like a knife
My favourite weapon
Is the look in your eyes
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
There's a ton locked in your empty eyes
Get out of my life!
I'm chewing on glass
And eating my fingers
I'm not the one
Who's run out of lies
Lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of lies!
You've run out of time!
Cutting my face
And walking on splinters
I lost my soul
To the look in your eyes
Your eyes!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of time!
Stigmata!
O, you have empty eyes!...
They tell me nothing, nothing but lies

Land of Rape and Honey was itself the best album.
At the end there is a voice that repeats "heresy", I think...
Al Jourgenson is an outcast in society, the title is a reference to his contradictory beliefs and also stating that "they" (i.e. christians, hindus, george bush, society and religion in total) are the real ones that should be branded as outcasts. The titles of Christian, etc.. are actually their "badges of shame."
And yes, this is one of their best, along with Psalm 69, Thieves, and Filth Pig, in my opinion.
It sounds like a drug addict blaming himself while looking in the mirror. The addiction for him is "stronger than reason" and "stronger than lies" All the times he said he wasn't going to go back to drugs turned out to be lies, and he hates himself. The "chewing on glass" and "eating my fingers" is the feeling of withdrawal.
Al Jourgensen famously was addicted to heroin, so maybe the "stigmata" is the track marks from injecting heroin.
