Lyrics

[00:17.93] When the final resistance hangs on the gallows
[00:22.75] Oh yes, I promise unto thee
[00:26.07] when the final resistance hangs on the gallows in the midst of Spring
[00:36.15] You will be made to deny the dissonance and conflict
[00:42.51] that is at the heart of the experience of our World
[00:47.92] You shall join the chorus of praise that flows from the absolute perfection
[00:59.42] we have created by the sole power of our will
[01:11.82] We shall bleed you white
[01:14.73] We shall bleed you white
[01:17.29] but you will think
[01:18.88] that it is an act of unconditional Love
[01:23.42] We will pretend to have peace in our hearts,
[01:27.97] yet
[01:29.21] knowing that blows will avail
[01:32.81] we shall keep the dagger near
[01:50.58] As an educational tool
[01:52.88] pain has a value nothing can replace
[01:57.77] It shall therefore be the cement of our society
[02:26.14] When the final resistance hangs on the gallows
[02:29.98] Oh yes, I promise unto thee
[02:34.70] when the final resistance hangs on the gallows
[02:39.50] love will then blossom with the ardor of flowers
[02:44.37] in the midst of Spring
[02:47.00] Place your faith in this promise
[02:52.86] When the final resistance hangs on the gallows
