Colonialism in the torture garden.

Additional lead vocal: Sarah Moulton.

lyrics

Was this the thing that we wanted?
A wander down a cruel path
While you hold your sunshade right up high
So the light won’t burn your throat
Were these the steps we rehearsed?
A march through a bloody park
Sheltered by the gun
While the darkness burns us black inside

Sound slips from silk, it’s white as milk
Go hand in hand through the torture garden

Is this the stream that we need?
A place to cool your pretty feet
While the stones cut into our soles
Cut into your soul, cut into my soul, cut into the -
Language we stole
Shattered words in broken Mandarin
Haunted by the ringing bell and the screams
Of the beaten beaters beating

Sound slips from silk, it’s red like milk
Go hand in hand through the torture garden
You should have heard us talk we were white as chalk
Death sang our praise in the torture garden

Sweet corruption in the perfume on your skin
The peacock cries a broken Mandarin
And under the bell the horror show begins

Sound slips from silk, it’s red like milk
Go hand in hand through the torture garden
You should have heard us talk we were white as chalk
Death sang our praise in the torture garden

And the screams off the beaten beaters beating...
Under the bell...
Sheltered by the gun
