Rasputina
The Infidel Is Me
Am I the infidel?
I thought it was supposed to be someone else
But I see now it’s me
I am my own worst enemy

Just think of it
The sequence of the incidents was intricate
So brilliant yet illegitimate
Not disastrously but triumphantly
When we met in the secret facility
I said, (you remember what I said)
“It’ll be easy for you to recognize me
By the coils of concentina wire
Surrounding my head in a shiny halo of small, sharp blades.”

“There are people here
That would do you great harm
So please, just try to stay calm
And I’ll get you through this,”
You whispered
And with that, my allegiance had shifted

The betrayal, the delusions
My Quantico rejection
The isolation, the breakdowns
And mysterious injections

Hey-ey-oh, ay-ah, the infidel is me

Then it was I, the lone futurist
Leading scores of resistors armed with tridents
But you’re not there

Why can’t you come in from the cold?
Why can’t you come in from the cold
To make an unlikely alliance with me?

Why don’t you come in from the cold?
Why don’t you come in from the cold
To make an unlikely alliance with me

Hey-ey-oh, ay-ah, the infidel is me

And in defiance of our alliance
I say go away and lick your wounds
If you get them really clean again
You can drink away your dark dreams

Hey-ey-oh, ay-ah, the infidel is me
