The Art of Zarum

Original Lyrics

Punishments Past 

Zarum

You’ll never know just how I feel 

To be accused of something wronged 

To feel the lash of punishments past 

To pay for sins with your wooden nickels 

 

Not once, but twice I’ve been racked 

Show me your smoking gun 

Bring forth your priests to plough your truth 

But don’t look to me to be your Dreyfus 

 

I’ve withstood the storms 

The jagged words have ceased to slice 

What once was feverous has turned to ice 

Your guillotine blade has dulled by wit 

But nothing you can do can dull my bit 

 

So take your accusations 

Your mind slinging venom to clean 

Gather all your rancid ingredients 

And conjure up your delectable cuisine 

 

I’ve withstood the storms 

The jagged words have ceased to slice 

What once was feverous has turned to ice 

Your guillotine blade has dulled by wit 

But nothing you can do can dull my bit
