0:45I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
0:51I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed
0:59You bathed in my wine
1:03Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme
1:06Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds
1:13Put a stake through my heart
1:16And drag me into sunlight
1:19So awake for your greed
1:23As you're slaying the dreamer
1:39Swansong for the wish of night
1:42God it hurts give a name to the pain
1:45Our primrose path to hell is growing w**d
1:52Put a stake through my heart
1:55And drag me into sunlight
1:59So awake for your greed
2:02As you're slaying the dreamer
2:18Blame me it's me
2:21Coward a good for nothing scapegoat
2:25Dumb kid living a dream
2:28Romantic only on paper
2:32Tell me why you took all that was mine
2:35Stay as you lay don't lead me astray
2:38Tell me why you took all that was mine
2:42Stay as you lay don't lead me astray
3:29Wake up mow the w**d
3:31You'd be nothing without me
3:34Take my life if you have the heart to die
3:47You bastards tainted my tool
3:49Raped my words played me a fool
3:51Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
3:56The great ones are all dead
3:58And I'm tired too
4:00I truly hate you all
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greed You bathed in my wine Drank from my cup mocked my rhyme Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Swansong for the wish of night God it hurts give a name to the pain Our primrose path to hell is growing w**d Put a stake through my heart And drag me into sunlight So awake for your greed As you're slaying the dreamer Blame me it's me Coward a good for nothing scapegoat Dumb kid living a dream Romantic only on paper Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Tell me why you took all that was mine Stay as you lay don't lead me astray Wake up mow the w**d You'd be nothing without me Take my life if you have the heart to die You bastards tainted my tool Raped my words played me a fool Gather your precious glitter and leave me be The great ones are all dead And I'm tired too I truly hate you all
