Slipknot - Medicine for the Dead Lyrics

What happens in the dark feels the way the blackout never does

Turning the gears, sharpen the blades of sheer terror, these fevered ones

Tell me the secret things, show me the bloody kings

Let's play a game where the winners always lose their heads



Time screams by, life is mine

Time screams by, life is-



Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (drink me)

Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (drink me)



Before it could begin the shooting stopped, the silence always comes

Now where do we go? Because you're walking the streets

It's no better (there's something wrong)

Pull at your privacy, a product of lunacy

Don't be surprised when the losers want to win the day again



Time screams by, life is mine

Time screams by, life is-



Your condition is a symptom we'll have to give you

Medicine for the dead (drink me)

Your condition is a symptom we'll have to give you

Medicine for the dead



Where does it end and tell me where does it go?

If evil exists, then only evil can know

When do we run and are they letting us in?

Where does it end and tell me where to begin?



Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (drink me)

Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (medicine for the dead)

Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (drink me)

Your condition is a symptom

We'll have to give you medicine for the dead (you'll have to drink me)
