Anodyne Necklace by Iconic Vivisect Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2014

An immense concourse gathered for the spectacle
The condemned swinging by their throats

Convulsing gallows pole marionettes
Gradually asphyxiated

Dangling like dead fruit on the Tyburn tree
A baying hoard ravaged with disease

Storming the scaffold, blood-lust stampede

Scurrying like the rats that infect them

The sick lurch forward to wipe their sores with the death sweat of the deceased

Bathing their festering lesions

Plague vultures descend and scavenge for their blessings
Seeking fortune in the strangled remains

The coveted hempen caudle and anodyne necklace
An amulet to the infected
The spoils of execution
