Soundgarden - Birth Ritual

Lying like needles On forest earth Euphoric rush Trees bend to pray for us I'm sputtering Like cold machines Late for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual, ritual You can drive my tail To watch the circus A birth ritual A birth of idiots Now I woke up blessed And good strives for heart ache Marked for the death ritual, ritual, ritual As you start the song And face this garden I light a cigarette before the execution Now you see your crime For every miracle Add another drug at every birth ritual I took the drug To make me stay And now everything Dies in shyness The snake retreats Admits defeat And waits for the birth ritual, ritual, ritual As you start the song And face this garden I light a cigarette before the execution Now you see your crime For every miracle Add another drug at every birth ritual Shining light Child's highs Mark his sides Bright until the newness wears off As you start the song And face this garden I light a cigarette before the execution Now you see your crime For every miracle Add another drug at every birth ritual
