in the black sites what you do
when nobody knows you
are in there what you do
when you're in the black sites
when you shackle them higher
in there what you do
when you kill them by crucifixion
when you shackle them higher
are you still Christian
when you kill by crucifixion
when you ice the body
are you still Christian
when you wrap it in plastic
when you ice the body
when you swear it didn't happen
when you wrap it in plastic
when the dossier's been there
when you swear it didn't happen
for over a year now
when the dossier's been there
for the ghost prisoner
for over a year now
where nobody's looking
for the ghost prisoner
when nobody knows what
you do when you're in there
where nobody's looking.
