The Language of Violence Songtext
von Avarice in Audio

Composed in pernicious doctrine
False scripture from vicious prophets
We divine no other knowledge
Shackled inside psychotic bondage
Guilt makes us follow the leader
Soft silk tongues weave deceit
If this eidolon is our shepherd
We are nothing but their sheep

Tell me I′m ugly
Tell me I'm unclean
Tell me I′m obscene
Give me my amphetamines


The lunatics are taking the asylum
We speak the language of violence
The lunatics are breaking the asylum
We scream the language of violence

The lie tastes good from her tongue
Savour her flavour, til I go numb
Sate my shame with cash from the slums
Hold me in your arms, oh saviour of scum
Lust makes you want to believe her
Her reprise, a sweet serenade
I don't care if I'm betrayed
My charade is stock-in-trade

Tell me I′m gorgeous
Tell me I′m flawless
Tell me I'm Borgia
Come and sing me a chorus


The lunatics are taking the asylum
We speak the language of violence
The lunatics are breaking the asylum
We scream the language of violence
