Lyrics

The Devil's caught a hold of my soul On the path to faith, I couldn't pay my father's toll I've chased pain with pleasure to mend the holes And though I indulge, I still intend to end it all In a life of sin, I'm still a bitch to my woes Either Hell awaits, or it don't Still I'll go If there's hope, reveal it to me For I refuse to abide what my eyes cannot see What betides when I slip on my sword? Is the debt of my life worth the things I've abhorred? I will go Bright be the lights as they shine on my ะตxit No, I won't die I'll cease to bะต, as I never existed As I descend the stairwell, a million souls climb in parallel And though my canvas was left blank, the chiaroscurist has no shortage of fresh paints And though I may be replaced, the marks I've scratched still to be effaced And though it has taken me a lifetime to see; this is what I will be For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel What betides when I slip on my sword? Is the debt of my life worth the things I've abhorred? I will go Bright be the lights as they shine on my exit No, I won't die I'll cease to be, as I never existed As I descend the stairwell, a million souls climb in parallel And though my canvas was left blank, the chiaroscurist has no shortage of fresh paints And though I may be replaced, the marks I've scratched still to be effaced And though it has taken me a lifetime to see; this is what I will be
