You were always gonna be disappointed with everything
so next time you find a stream of forgetfulness why don't you wade on in?
But the streams and all the seas
are none-too deep to deny the crimes abounding around you and me
around our boundless 'humanity';
like Skamandros overfull with blood and guts
and an abhorrence beyond relief
ah, wade in
So there's nothing else for it, only one of two options (a little off & on)
- drown yourself, give in
- or destroy the sources of all this evil you've been hating
All the people who believe themselves to be in control of everything
so clearly wish to achieve the destruction of compassion of virtue of living breathing everyone's being
so next time they're up to their necks, their chins, in what they will reap
won't you wade on in?
Ah, wade in
Don't need a stone, don't need a rock
the weight of their sins will do the job
tie a noose, a sturdy knot
and ferry them out to deeper water
where they'll never get across
