Fugazi – 23 Beats Off lyrics
A name
I recognise that name
It was at the center of some ticker tape parade
The lead story,
A fine example
A name, a name
A name I recognise that name
It was at the center of some magnifying glass
The lead story, a fine example
A name, a name
He used to pretend he was fighting some war somewhere
Now everything depends on fighting some war
He never thought he'd be an exclamation point
A demonstration of his disease
A punctuation mark
A household name with hiv
Still, it's just still sound

    Diseased or suffering servant prophecies: HIV
    Isa 53:3 He was despised, and forsaken of men, a man of pains, and acquainted with disease, and as one from whom men hide their face: he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
    53:4 Surely our diseases he did bear, and our pains he carried; whereas we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

    Psalm 41:8
    8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

    And the references to the battle of Armageddon:

    Revelation 19:11
    And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
