Arsenic & Old Lace

Say farewell
The end is nigh
Kiss your lips and taste the wine
Wide awake mind reeling
Is not your heart now that I'm stealing
But your life with every breath
Words echo when nothings left
Crawling through a lake of fire
Consumed now by desire
Such a shame to lay to waste
Somber beauty angelic taste
But as the days we fade away
Lost in this barbarous state
Stand alone in presence face
Bare witness to a soulless fate
To lay an angel down to waste
Forever falling loss of grace
Arsenic and old lace
Say Farewell the end is nigh
Kiss your lips
Kiss your lips and taste the wine
Wine
A search for truth or something more
But still you play just like a whore
A Junkie fiending for a fix
So I gave you my 666
Take you down and watch you rot
Without a single thought
Such a shame to lay to waste
Somber beauty angelic taste
But as the days we fade away
Lost in this barbarous state
Stand alone in presence face
Bare witness to a soulless fate
To lay an angel down to waste
Forever falling loss of grace
Arsenic and old lace
Say Farewell the end is nigh
Kiss your lips
Kiss your lips and taste the wine
Wine
Walk away
Through the door
Turn your back
And say no more
Take the pain
Start again
Forge my fate
With my sin
Bittersweet
Agony
Closing in
Around me
Feel it all
Fade away
Arsenic and old lace
Such a shame to lay to waste
Somber beauty angelic taste
But as the days we fade away
Lost in this barbarous state
Stand alone in presence face
Bare witness to a soulless fate
To lay an angel down to waste
Forever falling loss of grace
Arsenic and old lace
Say Farewell the end is nigh
Kiss your lips
Kiss your lips and taste the wine
Wine
Through the door
Turn your back
And say no more
Take the pain
Start again
Forge my fate
With my sin
Bittersweet
Agony
Closing in
Around me
Feel it all
Fade away

Bleed
04:10
|
|||
blind leading the blind
feeding the lie
living a life that is so dead inside
lost in the flame
alone and insane
twisted from birth with no one to blame
(Bridge)
i am the truth
born from your lies
i am the madness infesting your mind
i am the cure
to your disease
just take my hand
and i'll set you free
(CHORUS)
follow me down
i give to thee
my darkest gift
i'll watch you bleed
hollow and empty
i'll plant the seed
now feel it grow
i'll watch you bleed
(VERSE)
hate
complacent with fear
unable to hear
the truth ringing out at the answer's unclear
open your eyes
to your demise
or suffer a lifetime that's riddled with lies
(BRIDGE)
i am the truth
born from your lies
i am the madness infesting your mind
i am the cure
to your disease
just take my hand
and i'll set you free
(CHORUS)
follow me down
i give to thee
my darkest gift
i'll watch you bleed
hollow and empty
i'll plant the seed
now feel it grow
bleed
bleed just for me
I would
on your knees, its time to bleed
now bleed
now bleed
and feed
now bleed
and feed
now bleed
and feed with me
on your knees, its time to bleed
now bleed
and feed
now bleed
and feed
now bleed
and feed with me
on your knees its time to feed
on your knees its time to bleed

Land of Entrapment
04:27
|
|||
You wage your wars from behind our back,
You take your stand, but we, we attack,
You build your walls and hide inside,
Your prison cell will be your demise,
In this Land of Entrapment,
A sea of empty Placid faces,
Staring listlessly,
In this Land of Entrapment,
Perpetual Lunacy,
In this Land of Entrapment,
But you won't trap me,
Illuminating,
All your disgrace,
You're wrought with shame,
All across your face,
You're broken now,
And at your end,
Forever jaded,
Frozen again,
In this Land of Entrapment,
A sea of empty Placid Faces
Staring listlessly,
In this Land of Entrapment,
Perpetual Lunacy,
In this Land of Entrapment,
But you won't trap me,
Everybody look and see,
Is this what you want from me,
Peel me open peer inside,
But the truth you'll never find,
You pushed like needles through my skin,
Until I finally let you in,
But all that you will ever be,
Is just a part of my disease,
Everything you thought you were,
Is something that you took from me,
And I will bring it back one day,
And I loathe everything,
About You and just in case,
I'll put you right back in your place,
Happiness in slavery,
Is something I could never live for,
In this Land of Entrapment,
A sea of empty Placid,
Faces, staring listlessly,
In this Land of Entrapment,
Perpetual Lunacy,
In this Land of Entrapment,
But you won't trap me,
You won't trap me

Tapestry of Lies
04:43
|
|||
At birth, we're fed your lies disguised as democracy
Shedding blood, a mother's son
Now a pawn for your greed
You fight your wars all in vain
We watched our brothers die
No more, this reign dies tonight, as we begin to rise
(Chorus)
All faceless drones
A choice Illusion
You're caught inside a sweet delusion
This tapestry begins to fray
This Tapestry of Lies
Commence decay
Desecrate
We will
Eviscerate
You'll see
Annihilate
The end is calling (this tapestry)
We will
Contaminate
You'll see
exacerbate
The end
This tapestry (of lies)
Commence Decay
(Verse 2)
Do you really think that this is what we need
Propagating your fears
Ignorance and greed
Suffocating our lives with your lies
Executing genocide
