Seems the golden gift comes bound in need
From the first pained breath and hungered scream
Hand to mouth, day to day
You sleep, you rise, you hunt the prey
Still you're hounded by temptations call
Poking your own voodoo doll
Living the moment, chasing the high
One drug for another, until you die
The wars were won in a cloud of smoke
The body builds while the insides choke
We bury the needle and grind the pills
Roll the dice in the valley of ills
The church lies burnt, you can't confess
The dues will fall on a pound of flesh
Go swallow the spider, catch that fly
One drug for another, until you die
Go on ease the pain
Feel so young again
Fly beyond your will
You're invincible
The final page read the curse of song
As one resolved, two more were born
The demons of duty, pangs of the mind
From paths untravelled, their voices chime
The walls around, they're closing in
The heart grows cold, the spirit thin
Damned if you don't, so you'll give it a try
One drug for another, until you die
Go on ease the pain
Ease the pain
Go on ease the pain
Ease the pain
Go on ease the pain
Ease the pain
