Adversarial / Copulating Snakes - Napalm Death

I’ll skulk expectantly and

Open wide, shall I?

I’ll position myself for

Readjustment, shall I?

Be bared for tools and

Debilitating friction, shall I?

Be passed around like pickings

For scavengers, shall I?

Adversarial

I’ll passively be defined

As shockproof vessel, shall I?

Then reprimanded for every

Snapping sinew, shall I?

I’ll take the strokes because

I skipped a beat, shall I?

I’ll be accepting that my time

Ceases here, shall I?

Adversarial

Adversarial — manhandled

Off my plateau

Feral?

Uncivil?

Adversarial

I’m almost pacified

By your incredulity

But these bondage ties

Reserved my right…

Adversarial — Base?

Remedial…

…Soon though, resistance is

But strangulated pangs

Intertwining around any inkling

That I might stand and be counted

Perennial the serpents that

Proffer then throttle

Awe at copulating snakes

Copulating snakes

Copulating snakes

These are copulating snakes

Almighty conglomeration

Of writhing prowess

The muscles that mute me

In tandem

Rallying cries jab my own throat

As I terminally clench

Dispatched by copulating snakes

Copulating snakes

These are copulating snakes

Copulating snakes
