Nature red in tooth and claw
I haven't seemed to keep my powder dry
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

The second that I fell in love
With the handle of your revolver
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

I begged to you a second chance
With dried white roads to Bethlehem
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause that's my dyslexicon

When I collapse and bury all the things unconsciously I hear
Cackling in chloroform this spectre will ensnare
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

A braided strand of children's manes
Acquired with impunity
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

The things you say to me
Are deaf in tongue
(I always seem to hear it in your laughter)

Am I the valency that you deny?

In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause that's my dyslexicon

You've never tasted heaven
Stood the mother filled with grief
In the wake of Monday morning
A culprit void of breath with guile

If fate is your endearment
Through pistil and through stem
In the wake of Monday morning
A culprit void of breath with guile

And on the seventh day
You will come to find
My prism is not colorblind
In death's mosaic spirit
A culprit void of breath with guile

That's why I repent
That's why I go under
That's why I repent
That's why I go under
That's why I repent for the night

In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause that's my dyslexicon

In the time of the sixth sun
We are cattle to the prod
And I burn this dictionary
'Cause that's my dyslexicon
That's my dyslexicon Writer/s: Cedric Bixler, Omar Rodriguez
