You fucking parasite!!
I'll beat you til you die!!!
It hides inside me,
It hides inside me!
Sic semper tyrannus!
Everyday you decay
In chains, dismayed
Broken soul, splintered bones
Ghost-children
In their graves, sold as slaves
Unstable, greedy flames
Life is a sacrifice
A 7 inch slice
The still-born waste
Of a suicide christ
I'm learning to like the pain....
I hope you die
We, broken people
I hope you die
We, broken people
It hides inside me,
It hides inside me!
Everything is dead
Every day is black
Word becomes flesh
Bloodied, burned, & scratched
Everything is dead
Every day is black
The face i wore was yours
As i launched this self-attack
Hypocrite!
Heretic!
Blasphemer!
[Bridge]
In pain.
Insane.
A bullet in the head
A knife wound in the.....
I cried, as my innocence died.
I cried,
As my innocence died.
Death will have mercy,
I won't.
Here in the serial-killer holy land.
[I will sit, i will wait, i will make no mistake,
I will sit, i will wait, for as long as it takes]
It's not over,
We've only just begun.
Like a fetus on the floor,
Like an addict wanting more,
Like a sex slave... Crying & sore...
I want to smell the violence,
I need to see you bleed,
Take me inside your soul & make it weep for me,
.... I need to believe.
[Outro]
I will sit!
I will wait!
I will make!
No mistake!
I will sit!
I will wait!
I will make!
No mistake!
From slave to master!
I've become the hyrda!
More heads & venom!
It hides!
Inside!!
Me!!!
Hooks & splinters!
Hooks & splinters!
[It hurts to exist]
