lyrics

I’m a deception,
Illusion,
A shell of pure violence
Just waiting for you.
I’m hollow inside.
It’s how I’m thrown to the world.

Jilted song of the scarecrow,
My purpose is fear.

(Bang! Bang! Another unmanned body claimed)

This field of would-be’s is fruitless,
It’s nothing but dry weeds.
They encircle my body
Like something forgotten,
Haunting the living,
Preserved in a pale meaning.
Joyless and deathless.
Completely inhuman,
Just waiting for you.

Jilted song of the scarecrow,
My purpose is fear.

(Bang! Bang!)

Behind me is Death.
He wears a loose garment of black.
It stirs in the wind.
My arms spread wide,
He stares with sharp Saffire eyes.
They pierce the hard air.
Behind you is Death,
Same garment, same glare.
Your body is armor to safeguard your fear.

Jilted Song of The Scarecrow,
My purpose is fear.

(Bang! Bang!)

I’m here to approach you,
To court your reproach.
You can’t address me.
I’m flesh with no body,
Hollow inside.
I’m so high above you,
I block out the sky.

No, you can’t address me.
A shell of pure violence,
Joyless and deathless.
Completely inhuman,
I can’t be exposed.

Jilted song of the scarecrow,
My purpose is fear.

I’m a deception,
Illusion,
A shell of pure violence,
Just waiting for you.
I’m hollow inside.
It’s how I’m thrown to the world.

(Bang! Bang! Another unmanned body claimed)
