Ingrained - Captain Beefheart

Written by：Heafy/Mongrain/Poggione/Sucof/Suecof

Christened as the abomination

Held down in his godly pose

Stitch me in conformity's slab

Embroider my flesh in mechanical mode

I'm crucified for my existence

Nailed in obscurity

Coerced compliance

Why is this

Way I must exist

So let it be known

That all conviction

Will bring the end

Of heathen flesh

Pull me to the stake

Dragged kicking and screaming

Pull me to the stake

Crucify my and my ignorance

As the flames torch me clean

My end becomes so clear

As the flames purify

Free at to finally burn

I feel the light burning in my head

Self lamentation for shattered existence

A consecration for the clairvoyant

Now I bask in my carnal ash

As the flames torch me clean

My end becomes so clear

As the flames purify

Free at to finally burn

So let it be known

That all conviction

Will bring the end

Of heathen flesh
