What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Cast out of so-called paradise, I awoke among the dead
2
Sought in vain to scrape the nightmares from my weary head
3
It ever so happens that what I am inside
4
Is everything you call ugly, every love you despise
5
Now that you've laid me in the lowest pit, shall I praise you from down here?
6
Am I to chant, among the vermin, prayers to fall upon deaf ears?
7
Take me in your arms, take me to your bed
8
Set me a place at your table, let me in your head
9
And I'll betray you, I'll desecrate you
10
I'll be your worst fears realized and brought to life
11
Spend a night inside this cage and you'll learn to hate the hand that feeds you
12
I'll teach your withered nerves to writhe, I'll make you feel alive
13
When you've got nothing, you've got no right to hunger or to thirst, to starve or to suffer at all
14
Those who have what you have not will gather around to watch you crawl
15
When your heart's desires are unforgivable crimes, blasphemous to the castrates and the voyeurs
16
They'll parade your disgrace, and spit back in your face all the loves you held sacred and pure
17
As a slave's only right is rebelling
18
As a thief's only right is deception
19
As a who're only revenge is contempt
20
If you're innocent I'll heap up enough sin
21
To buy the Kingdom of the Condemned
22
And I walk among the dead
23
Fighting to scrape your nightmares from my poisoned head
24
I'll betray you, I'll violate you - I'll be your worst fears realized
25
Spend a night inside this cage, you'll learn to hate the hand that feeds you
26
I'll steal your heart, I'll steal your soul, your very nerves
27
So I can feel
28
ALIVE
29
The ones you thought beneath you stand over you now
30
The ones you thought behind you stand before you now
31
The ones you thought could not hear are not deaf to you now
32
And the eyes you thought blind are following your every move
33
The homeless will sleep warm tonight
34
The starving will be fed tonight
35
The cast outs come back to haunt tonight
36
The have-nots will get theirs tonight
37
The hopeless will have hope tonight, the worthless will have worth tonight
38
The weary will rest well tonight, the Holy sleep in Hell tonight
39
The first will be the last tonight, the last will be the first tonight
40
The might are brought low tonight
41
The have-nots will get OURS-
42
Tonight.
