Under en kort period kom jag nära punkens värld.
Piercing är en betydelsefull del av punken. En dag på
tåget från Göteborg till Helsingborg slog det
mig att jag kände en som blivit mer piercad
än någon punkare i hela världen. Då skrev jag
den här sångtexten (som väntar på att bli tonsatt...)
The Pierced King
A dangling chain
from a safety-pin
pierced through
your death-pale chin
Whatever you´re trying to say
with a pierced body and soul
whatever message you try to convey
it´s just a vain whisper in the storm
compared to the message I bring:
nails through His hands
nails through His feet
roman spear in his heart
HE IS THE PIERCED KING
Style witout pain
is shit and fake
cheap fashion stinks
so you wear a snake
Whatever you´re trying to say
with a pierced body and soul
whatever message you try to convey
it´s just a vain whisper in the storm
compared to the message I bring:
nails through His hands
nails through His feet
roman spear in his heart
HE IS THE PIERCED KING
Ten rings in your ear
and a pin through your nose
tattoos on the brow
cut and shredded clothes
Whatever you´re trying to say
with a pierced body and soul
whatever message you try to convey
it´s just a vain whisper in the storm
compared to the message I bring:
nails through His hands
nails through His feet
roman spear in his heart
HE IS THE PIERCED KING
Right hand with a nail
left hand with a nail
feet with nails
spear in the heart
Whatever He´s trying to say
through His pierced body and soul
the message He´s bringing to you
is whispering love to your storm
so receive nthe message I sing
nails through His hands
nails through His feet
roman spear in his heart
HE IS THE PIERCED KING
