Through fires in bloom and wretched bite Scale giants till the vultures fly beneath This city was built upside down Branded in time a bow to the maiden of whisper's design And for you the guest of honor a grain of salt With the wings of colored lure The audience will cheer never wasting the sights Tongues will seduce the ears By licks that promise dreams delight A test to arms Displayed for starving eyes Has the initiation appeased your fancy? Soil bound the obstacles decorating red carpets That fell beneath to tricks of the trade Build! Shouts the quiet for the old will awake and reclaim Before the wombs who hath no fury A foul stench spoil wolves and harlots alike Spectate the feast at thy feet The audience cheers never wasting the sights A test to arms Displayed for starving eyes A test to arms Displayed for starving eyes More they demand The exhibition is not enough To rule the city supreme one must keep the eyes on their toes Do we have your attention now? A spectacle in red I'll paint two coats A spectacle in red I'll paint two coats A spectacle in red I'll paint two coats Branded in time a bow to the maiden of whisper's design And for you the guest of honor a grain of salt With the wings of colored lure The audience will cheer never wasting the sights Tongues will seduce the ears By licks that promise dreams delight
