Lyrics
Dressed like the pig farmer, For the banquet of Caligula, Drink in the ambience, The spectacle of violence.
You see the charm, Not broken promises, No justice, dominance, Not victims vilified.
Entertainment for the masses, Executions between courses, Personal, theatrical, Retribution for your choices.
Lure the children, Lie to their faces. Friends of the king, Are special cases. A soft voice, A chapel bell. Clean the floors, Of the locked cell.
What a sinister opening stanza! The vocal treatment there gives slight Depeche Mode hints, only for us to be bludgeoned with the full-on screams. I appreciate that there are little wrinkles here and there in the drum groove to add a sense of frantic instability to the whole thing. Nice work - kudos!
