Bring Back Crucifixion (Capitol Punishment), Draft 2 (Patreon)
Content
Hi! I have an updated version. Usually I don't share the drafts of poems, but I'll make an exception.
Draft 2
[Intro]They never learned from history; they found-New ways to wear the crown.So if the cross was good enough for the innocent…It’s good enough for them now.
[Verse 1]They build their thrones on top the bones, then preach "Holy War in the Middle East!"While mothers dig through concrete dust for children underneathThe priest, the judge, the president, they shake all the same handSo hang the tyrants high and let the crows eat on command
[Pre-chorus]I've never met a monster that could learn when shown mercyBecause mercy's cruelty to the victim, I want justice in a hurryI want justice with a hammer! I want justice with a nail!I will speak only language that they learn all times without failSo string them up and make a toast to-
[Hook]No more jails, no more pleas, no more “wait and sees”If the sword was for "illegals," then the cross is for elitesI hate the blue-writ pardon, every sin that struck turned cheeks, it's all-Another reason why it's the gallows that we needLet them all ring Roman Bells and be water to the trees
[Post-hook]Bring back crucifixion, let the kingsmen feel the rainSend nails through the hands of those who cause the suffering less shameLet the rapist taste the wood, let the blood run down the grainBring back crucifixion, ‘till the dirt has learned their names
[Bridge]I want justice for the wickedI want them all to die todayI want each and every on of theirSmiles wiped from their gray facesAll the places they have tainted withBombs (they're rapists)None of them are humanNone of them have soulsBut neither those are why I'll grin when all their hands have holes-
[Pre-chorus]No more jails, no more pleas, no more “wait and fuckin' sees”If the sword was for "illegals," then the cross is for elitesI condemn the blue-writ pardon and every sin that left cheeks turnedIt's all just another reason why the gallows must return!!!
[Chorus/Outro]Bring back crucifixion, let the kingsmen feel the rainSend nails through the hands of those who cause the suffering less shameLet the rapist taste the wood, let the blood run down the grainBring back crucifixion, let the Devil learn their names.
Draft 1
[Intro]They never learned from history; they found-New ways to wear the crown.So if the cross was good enough for the innocent…It’s good enough for them now.
[Verse 1]They build their thrones on top the bones, then preach a holy peaceWhile mothers dig through concrete dust for children underneathThe priest, the judge, the president, they shake the same right handSo hang the tyrants high and let the crows eat on command
[Verse 2]I've never met a monster that could learn when shown mercyBecause mercy is cruelty to the victim, I want justice in a hurryI want justice with a hammer I want justice with a nailI will speak only language that they learn all times without failSo string them up beside the ones who never got a vote andCast aside the blockWatch him struggle watch him swing watch themAll consumed by rot
[Pre-chorus]No more jails, no more pleas, no more “wait and sees”If the sword was for the people, then the cross is for elitesI hate the blue-writ pardon, every sin that struck turned cheeks, it's all-Just another reason why the gallows must returnLet them all play Jesus Christ and be-Water on the earth.
[Chorus]Bring back crucifixion, let the kingsmen feel the painSend nails through the hands of those who cause the suffering less shameLet the wicked taste the wood, let the blood run down the grainBring back crucifixion, ‘till the dirt has learned their names
[Bridge]I want justice for the wickedI want them all to die todayI want each and every on of theirSmiles wiped from their gray facesAll the places they have tainted withBombs and raped the worstThese are not humans we look at they-Sold their souls…I want them to hurt…
[Pre-chorus]No more jails, no more pleas, no more “wait and sees”If the sword was for the people, then the cross is for elitesI hate the blue-writ pardon, every sin that left cheeks turned, it's allJust another reason why the gallows must return
[Outro]Bring back crucifixion, let the kingsmen feel the painSend nails through the hands of those who cause the suffering less shameLet the wicked taste the wood, let the blood run down the grainBring back crucifixion, till the dirt has learned their names.
