Song lyrics
Down, chemical sacrament, 
Blasphemous prayer. 
Deliver me from this 
so serene apocalypse. 

Just make me fucking numb, 
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb. 
Return to sacred sleep. 

This could be my requiem, 
And I'll feel no pain. 
This could be my requiem, 
But don't bury me too deep. 

Drain infected brine, 
Sickened cesspool shell of mine. 
Strap up the hands of time, 
And push the soul into the vein. 

Just make me fucking numb, 
Deaf, blind and fucking dumb. 
Return to sacred sleep. 

This could be my requiem, 
And I'll feel no pain. 
This could be my requiem, 
But don't bury me too deep. 

Sink, suffer, self destruct. 
Rise, stronger, reconstruct. 

Dispose, Discard, Deny. 

And I will feel no pain.

For those who are wondering what's the speech in the middle of the song, here's what it says:

We had better not have any of our children left when it's over, 'cause they'll parachute in here on us.
Because we are not committing suicide. It's a revolutionary act.
Let's get calm, let's get calm.
We had nothing we could do, we can't, we can't separate ourselves from our own people.
It's not to be feared. It is not to be feared. It's a friend, it's a friend,
Let's be done with the agony of it!
It's far, far harder to have to watch you every day die slowly and from the time you were a child to the time you get gray you're dying.
Mother, mother, mother, mother, mother, please, mother, please, please, please, don't, lay down your life with your child, but don't do this...
We had better not have any of our children left when it's over... lay down your life with your child.
Oh, God, Almighty God

The speech was taken from Jim Jones' "death tape", which was recorded when Jones committed mass suicide with more than 900 people in Jonestown
