that beautiful word - kristian hoffman lyrics

Loading...

when we opened the bas*m*nt the battered cadaver looked brittle and small
not a world weary gumshoe could say what occurred
then it blinked and it coughed and it sputtered * it wasn’t quite dead after all
it was only the sh*ll of that beautiful word

there was talk of unsavory methods and wills that were broken and crushed
but it seemed so alarmist and vague and absurd
till the grim light of dawn hit this vessel whose own very soul had been hushed
tell me what have we have done to that beautiful word?

that beautiful word fell like the sky
what kind of lullaby turns love into a lie?
say, haven’t you heard? letters this high spell out the reason why: lie

first we drugged it with bald self*importance, then rented it out like a wh0re
fire and brimstone was always the payment preferred
when it lay down with power and religion it couldn’t get up anymore
that’s the way we crippled that beautiful word

i can’t even remember how it came how to be cursed
but whatever the meaning now it means the reverse
we used alchemy backwards to make lead out of gold
now this quivering cipher does whatever it’s told

we learned nothing from interrogation but how to turn faith into frost
now not even the glow of a cigarette stirred
fear came on little rat feet too late, and our own were the voices we lost
like the orphan we made of that beautiful word
