Lyrics

Bilingual
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow, 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
ย
Swansong, for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed
Put a stake!
Through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake!
For your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer
ย
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
ย
Wake up, mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have the heart
Heart to die
ย
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
