Hysterical Strength

HA! HA!

The counterweight is falling and the pendulum swings
The seconds keep a-drip, a-drip, a-drip, dripping
The pascal keeps a-rising and the kettle, it screams
While the fingers 'round your throat keep grip, a-grip, gripping

Conjuring up a divine degree of hard to fathom energy
This rope stretches to immeasurable lengths
Hysterical strength
HA! HA!

Those black holes are dilating, lack of view is wide
Scythe bearer is a-laugh, a-laugh, a-laugh, laughing
Your instincts are applying for a grant who supplies
A question in an egg that's crack, a-crack, cracking

Conjuring up a divine degree of hard to fathom energy
This rope stretches to immeasurable lengths
Hysterical strength
HA! HA!

Momentary Kratos, take a double with a measure of
Noradrenaline, no adrenaline comparable
Noradrenaline, no adrenaline proportionate
Summoning the devil to see out Christ
Summon the devil and see out Christ
Are mannerisms reactions to circumstance?
Are mannerisms a matter of consequence?

Duck, duck, goose, duck, duck, goose
Duck, duck, goose, duck, duck, goose
Duck, duck, goose, duck, duck, goose
Duck, duck, duck, duck, duck, goose
HA! HA!
HA! HA!

Conjuring up a divine degree of hard to fathom (energy)
This rope stretches to immeasurable lengths, is something funny?
Hysterical strength
HA! HA!
