[Intro: Howard Jones]
Speak no evil as we bind the chains
Cut my throat, bloody rags hide the pain
Each and every vessel ends the same
Broken, bleeding underneath the blade

[Verse: Howard Jones]
The one you serve can't help you now
You slay my kin, I can't allow
You will suffer, to this I vow
The crops will wither as I drag you down

[Chorus: Howard Jones]
Famine and pestilence will be your punishment
And now your end awaits, from which you can't repent
Famine and pestilence will be your punishment
And now your end awaits, from which you can't rеpent

[Breakdown: Howard Jones]
Make your peacе, creature
You will not leave this temple
Make your peace, creature
You will join your kin in slaughter
Creature, temple
Creature, slaughter
[Outro: Howard Jones]
I underestimated the strength of your resolve
Condemned to join the flock and follow
And live out all my days in sorrow
I underestimated the strength of your resolve
Condemned to join the flock and follow
And live out all my days in sorrow
