Poet of the Damned (feat. Karen O)

it all seems stranger now

in our infected town

with the veins tapped

and the vials drained

it’s been a long way down

i cannot explain why i broke the chain of command

or how i came to be the poet of the damned

i’ve walked the floor

searching for a common thread

and the axis we share is not enough to spin my web

i caught you crawling out

of a newfound wasteland

to see my downfall

as the poet of the damned

disintegration is a crime

let’s come together in our minds

before end times

i’ve held the key to the doomsday machine

i’ve raised my rifle high to bend the sunlight’s gleam

and in the slaughter we’re all helpless to his plan

but here on the infinite plane i am the poet of the damned
