The Iron Gag

Eastern state penitentiary 1913
Keep me locked in solitary
Cellblock 14

From above, sermons of madness
Calling me
They can't have my only possession
My sanity

  The iron gag!

Eastern state penitentiary 1981
Where there once were many
Now there's just one

Taste the metal in your mouth
Your hands tied behind your back
Choking, bleeding, slowly dying
A victim of the iron gag

  The iron gag!
