Lie in this state
|
Of perdition
|
Never to awake
|
It negates
|
An admission
|
Stricken by fate
|
|
There's no salvation it dwells in your bones
|
There's no remission this sickness it owns
|
Make love to denial her sober embrace
|
Nails they've embedded never to release
|
|
In madness we shall reign
|
Down out
|
In madness we shall reign
|
|
Hail Mary our divine
|
Littered souls across a great divide
|
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
|
|
I numb it down
|
Heavens fleeting kiss envelops thee
|
It surrounds
|
So in vain we stab at the beast
|
|
Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail
|
No abstination relapse tip the scale
|
As you swallow the hook
|
And you chew on the line
|
Choke on the sinker
|
In this sea of lies
|
|
In madness we shall reign
|
|
Hail Mary our divine
|
Littered souls across a great divide
|
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
|
|
Broke vows and broken rosaries
|
Bind these rusted hopeless dreams
|
Broke vows and broken rosaries
|
Bind these rusted hands in prayer
|
Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely
|
In these killing fields
|
|
Deep in the throes of addiction
|
Now my blood's running black
|
My fixation is caught in its clutches
|
As the sun sets on my soul
|
In endless twilight
|
It is eclipsed
|
|
Hail Mary our divine
|
Littered souls across a great divide
|
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
|
|
Slowly we dance with temptation
|
Good intentions are sold
|
For the price of fool's gold and sedation
|
Take now this demon by its hand
|
And slice it off
|
|
Hail Mary our divine
|
Littered souls across a great divide
|
In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine
|
|
Take the ache beneath my bones
|
Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed
|
No grace awaits this broken soul
|
