Redfield - Russian Girlfriends

I watched my father lose faith

Get framed and forced from the pulpit

I witnessed devils disguising dark smiles determine the verdict

And though we’d done nothing wrong I believe we deserved it

The shake in my hands and the rot in my teeth

Have grown out of hand

And these roots run deeper than Daniel dispossessed and thrown to the lions

His alienation, his cross and castration

The town’s entertainment

So we grew up embarrassed we grew up in basements

And his congregation his friends and relations caused the crucifixion

Afraid for their families under the influence of the inquisition

But put if put in their position would I act any different?

The shake in my hands and the rot in my teeth

(It's who you’ve always been)

They grow out of hand

The sun comes and goes but the shadows still stick

(It's who you’ve always been)

The grow out of control yeah this blood runs thick

A sanctuary of serpents spitting sacred verses

(It's who you’ve always been)

Spinning miracles into curses

(It's who you’ve always been)

Like a village of vultures surrounding the carcass

Remember, those of us getting fucked are fulfilling a purpose
