Atrocity Exhibition Lyrics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lyrics
Asylums with doors open wide
Where people could pay to see inside
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says: I still exist
This is the way - step inside --

In arenas he kills for a prize
Wins a minute to add to his life
But the sickness is drowned by cries for more
Pray to God, make it quick - watch him fall
This is the way - step inside --

This is the way --
This is the way - step inside --

You'll see the horrors of a faraway place
Meet the architects of law face to face
See mass murder on a scale you've never seen
And all the ones who try hard to succeed
This is the way - step inside --

The studio version ends with the following:
And I picked on the whims of a thousand or more
Still pursuing the path that's been buried for years
All the dead wood from jungles and cities on fire
Can't replace or relate - can't release or repair
Take my hand and I'll show you what was and will be

This is replaced on the live versions by the following:
This is the way --
This is the way - step inside --
Step inside - step inside
Wanna see some more? step inside --
