Top Hat - Plague Doctor

PLAGUE DOCTOR by Top Hat

[Intro]

[Stanza #1]
You worship your own disease
It keeps you down on your knees
A self-inflicted contagion
Of mediocrity

[Stanza #2]
Eyes rimmed with webbing-strands
Each feather stitched by hand
I am not an animal
That you will ever understand

[Chorus]
I bring a purge for the plague-afflicted (dead in all due time)
Not the illusion of a cure (just take your fill, I'll take what's mine)
Beneath this mask
Rest sure at last
It is as they predicted
I am not of you and yours, and you are not of me and mine

[Bridge]
Plague doctor; plague, plague doctor [x4]

[Stanza #3]
Self-surgery
I've cut out parts of me
I am the Violence Machine, devoid
Of sympathy

[Stanza #4]
The closer that you get
The worse I will infect
The symptoms of the sickness
Have forced me to disconnect

[Breakdown/solo]

[Chorus] x2

[Bridge]
