作曲 : Murray, Nichol | |
As a child | |
Monsters always haunted your panicked dreams | |
This time you're the vampire | |
And though it's cruel reality | |
You're still trapped in a suffocating fantasy | |
Living out your most gruesome reverie | |
When will you let me wake you | |
From this painful dreaming | |
Don't you realize you're killing in your sleep | |
With claws of carelessness and fangs of apathy | |
Ripping holes in the flesh | |
Of the people you once esteemed | |
Just to smell the freshness | |
Of their final breaths and their blood | |
Yours went stale a long time ago | |
You'll change your addiction | |
To appease your conviction | |
You've built quite the tolerance | |
For your previous obsession | |
But your new devotion | |
Requires some compassion | |
In the face of diversity | |
Your tolerance is lacking | |
Now you've indulged | |
Your feral temptations | |
You've awakened | |
And you say that you've had a vision of enlightenment | |
That you wish to be cleansed and saved | |
Wash yourself clean in a blessed stream | |
But there's no such thing | |
And it's never that easy | |
Innocence can't be bought with a confession | |
You can't just empty your sins into a pit of salvation | |
The guilt eats you just as you devoured your family | |
Why do you need a savior | |
when you could rescue yourself from the fear that drives your hate | |
You'll change your addiction | |
To appease your conviction | |
You've built quite the tolerance | |
For your previous obsession | |
But your new devotion | |
Requires some compassion | |
In the face of diversity | |
Your tolerance is lacking | |
What did I do to deserve such silence | |
Such violence on your quest for self-destruction | |
You destroy us all as you feast on the last of your own blood | |
And taste the venom left behind | |
You consume my desiccated heart | |
And drain the consciousness from my mind | |
Take pity on me | |
Your devoted victim | |
Take pity on me | |
This sacrifice won't set you free | |
Beware of the soul-saver | |
He's not your friend | |
Why do you ask His forgiveness | |
I'm the one you've mistreated | |
Now ask yourself | |
Are you truly born again | |
Your pedestal reeks of death | |
A thick film of denial now coats your veins | |
There are hardly any left to penetrate | |
You had a life that refused to wait | |
For you to make another mistake | |
You're bound to make another mistake |
