if a heart feels like its weeping
one by one, one by one
all to find thoughts undone
and then there is a forced nightmare
two by two, two by two
just to see the world’s despair
if you see your own locked door
three by three, three by three
to come and give me up the key
and then i watch as virgins die
four by four, four by four
she gets burned down to the core
we wait and wait and wait for light
we’re five by five, five by five
barely breathing, barely live
come and watch the jester’s dance
six by six, six by six
cause he’s lost all his tricks
hear a blind man waits to die
seven by seven, seven by seven
even though he can’t see heaven
the switchblade king comes to cut
eight by eight, eight by eight
watch out now, keep lines straight
please sell your soul to shiatsu
nine by nine, nine by nine
they’re the ones to save your spine
look up to fate in the stars
ten by ten, ten by ten
amen amen amen amen
