Birth Ritual (Original Demo Version) Soundgarden

[Verse 1]
Lying like needles on forest earth
Euphoric rush, trees bend to pray for us
I'm sputtering like cold machines
Late for the birth ritual
Ritual, ritual, ritual

[Verse 2]
You can drive my tail to watch the circus
A birth ritual, a birth of idiots
Now I woke up blessed, good strives for heartache
Marked for the death ritual
Ritual, ritual

[Chorus]
As you start the song and face this garden
I light a cigarette before the execution
And now you see your crime for every miracle
Add another drug at every birth ritual

[Verse 3]
I took the drug to make me stay
Now everything dies in shyness
The snake retreats
Admits defeat
Waits for the birth ritual
Ritual, ritual
