"Ten Righteous" (The Holy Demiurge Series)

+ Show full styles

Pre-Chorus  
Abraham's bargaining with God at the back table
fifty, forty, thirty, ten
ten righteous in this mierda, Lord?
God looks at the empty glass and says:
"For ten souls, I spare the whorehouse"
but ten righteous ain't here, carajo
(ain't here... no hay nadie...)

Chorus  
SODOM FALLS IN FLAMES
GOMORRAH BURNS UN-DER-FOOT
THE RUM DRIES OUT, THE MOJITO DIES
AND WHO LOOKS BACK TURNS IN-TO SALT
(salt... stone... salt...)

Verse 2  
Lot locks the door with a broken bolt
his wife counts cash under the register
the neighbors pound, they want the angels, they want everything
this city is an ass that ain't washed in years
adulterated mojitos, cigars with syphilis
and the night has teeth, coño, sharp teeth
(teeth... sharp teeth...)

Pre-Chorus 2  
"Run, carajo, don't look back
don't mind the neighbor, don't mind the cat
pity for the dead kills the living
RUN, RUN, DON'T LOOK—"

Chorus  
SODOM FALLS IN FLAMES
GOMORRAH BURNS UN-DER-FOOT
THE RUM DRIES OUT, THE MOJITO DIES
AND WHO LOOKS BACK TURNS IN-TO SALT
(stone... stone...)

Bridge – The Wife  
"I hear my mother in the wall
I hear the bed where I birthed my kids
the fan keeps spinning
and my neck turns on its own..."
(turns on... its own...)

Guitar Solo  
blues bends — wah-wah cry — sustained notes — vintage Marshall scream — falling into silence

Final Chorus  
SODOM FALLS IN FLAMES!
GOMORRAH BURNS UN-DER-FOOT!
THE RUM DRIES OUT, THE MOJITO DIES!
AND WHO LOOKS BACK TURNS IN-TO SALT!
(SALT! STONE!)

Outro  
The woman stayed staring at the window
and sweat turned to salt on her skin
now she stands behind the bar, still
and the mojito keeps evaporating
........
(silence... coño... silence...)
