Atrocity Exhibition

The silence when doors open wide
Where people could pay to see inside
For entertainment they watch
His body twist
Behind his eyes he says I still exist
This is the way, step inside (4)
In arenas he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned
By cries for more
Pray to God make it quick — watch him fall
This is the way, step inside (4)
This is the way (4) This is the way,
Step inside
You’ll see the horrors of a far-away place
Meet the architects of law
Face to face
See mass murder on a scale
You’ve never seen
And all the ones who tried hard
To succeed
This is the way, step inside (4)
And I picked on the whims of A thousand more
Still pursuing the path
That’s been buried
For years of dead woods and jungles and
Cities on fire, can’t replace
Or relate,
Can’t release or repair —
Take my hand,
And I’ll show you what was — it will be.
