lyrics

ZARLEM - song by Elyce & Benjamin Russell
copyright © The Clear Blue Enterprise (socan)

Zarlem - submission oh great one!
You are omnipotent!
Zarlem

Your power is exalted, overlord supreme
Here is my report
Harlem

Their leaders are corrupted
Addicted to our drugs
They’re powerless to resist
Thieves and pimps and thugs
Harlem

The truth now cannot touch them
Their self-disgust and pride
Fill up their heart and apart
They splinter and divide
Zarlem

We gobble their confusion
We suck up all their dreams
We gorge on pain, their sweet pain
Our pleasure is obscene
Zarlem

The hot perfume of hatred
Now saturates the air
A heady mix of conflicts
feeds us everywhere
Zarlem

Submission oh great one
You are omnipotent
Zarlem
