Lamia Frankenstein

from Mystery Babylon by Knight of Swords

/

lyrics

At the gate
Between the woods and the town
At the borderline
Between light and darkness
At the margins
Of reality
So close to you, so close to human
But just a little too far
A monster to be hunted down
The torches and pitchforks
Of a narrow mind
Uphold your categories at all costs

So-called radicals want her head on a pike
But instead of killing her
They send her to the clinic
And the doctor says that she's a twisted man
Denies her food and dignity
Sells her to the circus
Let everyone have a look at the new freak
All her protestations silenced;
used as evidence of violence
They want to mandate her out of existence
But there's still their fascination
Fascination at the contradiction
And for her there's no shelter, no privacy, no dignity
Visibility is a trap

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay
To mould me Man, did I solicit thee
From darkness to promote me?
