Lyrics for Pearls Before Swine

Father forgive me Mother forsake me I think they've all become too strong Brother believe me Silence is deadly And it's given me the strength to carry on Time has come, now I'm blind deaf and numb You're killing me, you're killing me When I look into your eyes I can see it's the world that you despise And you're giving me the strength to carry on Lord forgive me... Look for the devils in their eyes Laughing, the blood has long been dried To hide in your disguise it goes on and on and on... Wallow, pearls before swine If the liar deceives you Then the sin will appear true Even if it leads me to the end Killer accuse me The devil breathes easy And it's given me the strength to carry on Time has come, now I'm blind deaf and numb You're killing me, you're killing me When I look into your eyes I can see it's the world that you despise And you're giving me the strength to carry on Lord forgive me... Look for the devils in their eyes Laughing, the blood has long been dried To hide in your disguise it goes on and on and on... Wallow, pearls before swine Now you've blown away the sun Now you've blown away the sun Darkened eyes and bitten tongue Now you've blown away the sun
