lyrics

Ive been watching you from underground
Stalking you from birth without a sound

You may be an optimist, but I will be an arsonist to you

Your tears are like a sugar, oh so sweet
Your anguish can delight my marrow deep
Your bones will break from entropy
your screams wont make a sound
your soul is growing darker
and in loneliness you’ll drown

So come on down to Hades
I’ll make it worth your while
There so much more thats out there
than for those whom He calls “child”
Just say the word, I’ll have you there
the bells have tolled, the blood lay bare drink it down and grab that chain
just pull that trigger and BANG!...your mine

Ive tasted every drop of your misdeeds
Your misery’s a soothing balm to me
The gothic psychomachy in your mind of whether or not me to believe Your state of faith’s irrelevant to me
Disbelief is nothing I can’t see
The fears that you retire with leave me laughing while you sleep
Knowing on the contrary, your soul is mine to keep

So take me to your insides
This fire will make you sing
Would life be all you dreamed of
even if you called Him king
Just say the words, I’ll have you there
the bells have tolled, let the blood lay bare steer that car into the rain
just pull that trigger and BANG!...your mine

I quiver at your begging cries of mercy
your helpless disposition turns me on
you’ll whimper in your sorrow for eternity while flies and maggots sing your dying song So futile is your fight
you’ll never see the light
You’re here forever just...like...ME!

Lo, behold He comes here uninvited Surely just to furrow up my plans You may take he or she
but rest assured, my Liege
you haven’t seen the last...of...me!

sitting next to cheetahs
hoping to avoid the snakes
pits of vipers gnashing at your feet
oil pumping from the clouds into a water sky
finding your eye level with the trees
plasma-shooting funnel clouds that take you far away
fire flying high will pass you by
cities swirl below you getting further away
you can’t expect to make it when the world beside you dies
