Cheaply venal, stupidly verbose
This is what has been wrought for 30 pieces of silver
Keep my name from your mouth forever
The tongues of men and angels bought by a beloved betrayer
You've been talking, I've been all ears
Mouth full of dirt your name is removed from the registry
Violence begins to mend, what was broken
Invoke the siren's song and sign the death warrant
I am the result, what's better left unspoken
Six feet under with no marker
Free speech for the living, dead men tell no tales
You've been talking, I've been all ears
I am the result, what's better left unspoken
Say to his assailant, "If I live I will kill you, if I die you are forgiven"
Words can be broken so can bones, execute the mandate
Your laughing finger, will never point again
Words meant to dwell in darkness shall never see the light of day
Himself without that law is both, for a wounded man shall
Violence begins to mend, what was broken
Omerta
Such is the rule of honor
A slip of the tongue, a slit of the throat
Broken the paradigm an example must be set
St. Peter greets with empty eyes then turns and locks the gate
