Now to unwind this mortal coil
With dime-store books and snake oil
Let's geek the hens - grab the nails
Down in the shed - it never fails
Bring him from the brink of lust where
Children whisper hymns of dust
Pray you
Pray me
Pray you
Pray me
Amen
The messiah comes in messy dreams so bring him now to mend our seams that what he means or so it seems
CHORUS:
Trust in me
I believe
Rust jesus
Set me free
Down in the swamp we build a pyre
Out of twigs and pious liars
On his throne he'll raise us higher
Than all the sinful heathen choirs
Ashen skin and hair of silt
Our savior saves us from guilt
With hands all cracked which suppurate
Seeping through a life of faith
We stand in awe of our facade
Fall to our knees and pray to god
CHORUS
I need the tetanus to secure my place as his right hand
I am his anger and his vengeance everything he commands
I feel the spirit taking over this husk of a man
I'll lose control and sweep the dregs from this poisoned land
And what I do and what I say and what touch goes cold
These empty sockets contain nothing but blackened coal
The light that fills me hollows me out leaves a gaping hole
Seeking deeper into nothing I reach out for my soul
Trust in me I believe in
Trust in me rust jesus
I decay
I like it this way
And still I pray
To rust Jesus
