Well, he said to me, "Child, I'm afraid for your soul These things that you're after, they can't be controlled And this beast that you're after will eat you alive And spit out your bones" She'll string you along, she'll sell you a lie There's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife There is no courage in flirting with fear to prove you're alive I've seen the true fates of the things you call life The song and the siren that holds your desire Death, she is cunning and clever as hell And she'll eat you alive ♪ She'll eat you alive
