Forgive me mother for I have lived For I am sin, the word is printed on my skin We burn up And drown All to the wicked sound Of vultures laughing We're going down, down, down, down, down, down, down A single candle's flickering light Gasps in the dance of the maker's wrath A waltz with the devil The song of creation So let us dance until the sky will fall This is all just a fucking dream We have to stay asleep to believe The taste of failure, so sweet Pour up and raise another glass with me The symphony of the broken and damned It ends with a whimper Forgive me father, I deserve this I'll make you proud Once I'm king of the ruins Portrayed my lies And all of my crimes on the stage of life Break it down This is all just a fucking dream We have to stay asleep to believe The taste of failure, so sweet Pour up and raise another glass with me The fate of the broken and damned
