He is insect among gods With strength to dehtrone all A tool of hate with no soul Driven by a dead black heart Lacerated and torn human shell Walking on the burnt bridges Carved in his battered flesh A mantra of human kindred "To forgive is noble but vengeance is power" Nothing can stop this nemesis Every lie reconciled Judging us from above Cauterizing feelings inside A false deity congregation Kneeling down for absolution Last rites and confession Prosecution and execution "To love someone leads us into oblivion" Would you still hold me if I was the one Born out of the rivers of blood? Would you still love me all over again If you could stop the end? Others are born of fire Destined to burn forever With lust for something, never to find I stare at the wall against which I will die I carve these words into my flesh as I cry: Why can't my aching soul retire? "To forgive is noble, but vengeance is power" Would you still hold me if I was the one Born out of the rivers of blood? Would you still love me all over again If you could stop the end? Would you still love me all over again?
