"The Quiet Parts" lyrics - PUSCIFER

Listen
They said it before
Loud as a wail
Clear as a siren
Blunt as a cannon ball
Listen
They'll say it again
Sharp as a promise
Deep as a Devil
All while you were
Sleeping
Well aware that power poisons
And absolute consumes
Too late
They Told you their name
Said just who they were
Should've believed them

Zealots are tugging the strings feeding the id
And starving the Ego
Choking the light right out
Soon as the quiet parts were trumpeted & bellowed
We should have listened then
And shored up to keep from

Drowning beneath the ugly
Tidal wave of the true believers
Too late
They told you their name
Said just who they were
Should've believed them

Sleeping
Well aware that power poisons

Listen
They said it before
Loud as a wail
Clear as a siren
Blunt as a cannon ball
Soon as the quiet parts were trumpeted and bellowed
We should have listened then
And shored up to keep from

Should've believed them
