"The Packt" lyrics - TOYAH

The doors blow open
You've arrived -
"Now why do you kill,
Bring diseases and plight?"
I sigh.

Silence -
Cold icy air.
Black
Manic stare.
Wait!
A reply -

"No, not I, it's a lie,
It's a lie -
I wouldn't do these things,
It's she, she sinned."

You make my flesh creep,
You've always managed to repulse me.

Along the shore
The cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink
Behind the lake;
Strange is the night,
Now black stars rise,
Many moons circle through the sky -

Why, where is she now?
She'd let the dawn rise,
She'd bring peace,
She'd
Silence the beast!

He scratches his leathery skin and grins;
A pungent stench emits from him.
"Yes," he said, bowing his thorny head,
"She's dead!"

Along the shore
The cloud waves break,
The twin suns sink
Behind the lake;
Strange is the night,
Now black stars rise,
Many moons circle through the sky -

Why, where is she now?
She'd let the dawn rise,
She'd bring peace,
She'd
Silence the beast!

"I'll make ye a packt -
I'll stop war.
Starvation, disease, poverty.
I'll even stop time!
But you'll be mine for eternity!
Remember!
No more time.

"If you want to rid me,
I present to you
The atom bomb -

It will rid all I've promised!
Now remember the packt!
You're mine!"

I feel my skin hang
To my skull -
Suction
Forces my shell to break -

Liquid confusion
Hits
The
Deck.
