Lyrics

I for a sign in the sky But I got the evil eye And the ritual sacrifice Came back to life I threw down the bones But they made no connection And the hand of Fatima stuck in my throat Lucky finger point at me File me in famous and drown me in floodlights Lucky finger write my name Set it in universe paint it in letters of flame Now I've done all I can by the sweat of my body And I've prayed my last prayer And abandoned all hope I'll raise my face and give thanks to the heavens When the spear of destiny scratches my rib These are the words of the animals Animals
