Shameless, skying above Preying on the nameless, jury and judge Everything they had was never enough Spirit me away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Struggle to be in the now When life's too much to swallow, it spits me right out But I cling on, reaping seeds I dare to sow For all the lives I ever stole and now I must repel the host Forever I'll be spirited away
Crawling under my skin, spiraling through my head Taste my own medicine, drunk on the power Rid this pestilence from within, a prayer for the innocent Talk me down from the ledge of my ivory tower
Where I end, you begin When I fall, you will stand
II. Glutton For Punishment
Greed and guile color my life with aurus rose Temper my yearning Abdicate the throne, majesty
Gold topples the crown Blood festers the ground
Hell on Earth, my blessing and my curse How did I fail my holy grail? Taper my hunger
(With your compound eyes) Parasites leeched upon the guilt (And a call to arms) Paradise led me down a path to the core
Fail - try - fall - rise
Scars run deep, tormenting me with her reptilian glare How is she forsaking me, when my devil may care?
(With your compound eyes) Parasites echo through the walls (And a call to arms) Paradise, breathe me in, I'm dead to the world
III. Marigold
Ashes in the sky, garden of delights Screams have turned to sighs, deserting their eyes
(Ashes in the sky, garden of delights) A shiver shoots through the spine (Screams have turned to sighs, deserting their eyes) She whispers goodnight (Wisdom in the crowd, signals turn to sound) Fallen sons and daughters (Abdicate the crown, muzzle to the mouth) How does one forgive himself?
Careful what you wish for, marigold Relentless grief that haunts my days will never be gone Tell me what you died for Did you ever imagine we'd reawaken the monster At the end of days that cease to begin?
IV. The Sect
Riches back to rags, clutching to the past Straying from the path, gutter from the stars If humility comes to humble me (Ostracized by the power of the masses) (Hypnotized by the hunter, Midas touch with a sleight of hand) In my time of need, will I be free? (I was compromised when the treasure made a fool of me) (I'm criticized for the slander, repentance heal my broken wing)
Riches back to rags, clutching to the past Straying from the path, gutter from the stars If humility comes to humble me In my time of need, will I be redeemed?
V. Ectobius Rex
Putrefied by the masses We fall to rise through the suffering Reign of fire, spread the ashes Your victor cries, "Hail to the King"
Crawl out of my skin, a cell keeps dividing Memories of electricity Rid this plague within, the veil finally lifts Jumping from my tower of ivory x2Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
