lyrics

Hi, Gene!

Principles follow order and standards must be kept – we wash our hands
the virtues of hygiene
Keeping yourself in order – now that's what grown ups do they wash their hands
after they smacked the face of children
And we are washing our hands to stay clean
And I am washing my hands again

And we are killing politely and civilized

Shaking the hands of butchers unspoken protocols we wash our hands
the treaties are arranged
Infection disinfection and when the table is set we wash our hands
and after we've thrown up the surplus
We are washing our hands (Pontius Pilate – Patron Saint)
We are washing out hands to stay clean
Doctors wash their hands Mengele washed his hands
Butchers wash their hands Mao washed his hands
We all wash our hands – you see.

Rubbing he skin off our bones as we're desperately attempting to stay clean
Already numb from the strain and ankle deep in blood we are washing our hands

And we are killing politely 'cause we are civilized

And the blood and tears on our high cultured hands will stay
ask all the waters of the mediterranian sea to wash it away

fault line
by October Burns Black

supported by 5 fans who also own “Hi, Gene!”

New wave of Gothic Rock at it's finest. This band has top level talent from well renowned acts involved so wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing the opening track. If you miss late 80's to mid 90's gothic rock bands, I can't recommend this one enough. m4rkos1334

I've enjoyed The Wake since the 90s. The new album feels like a trip to right where they left off! Goth Rock at it's best! I can't wait to see where they go from here!! aklosowski22
