I despise the reflection of my shadow Deny the mirror that lies My eyes have chosen to see not the arrow That's aimed at the heart until it has died Time after time, they deceive and betray Time after time, they deceive and betray I believe in the beauty of destruction The pure art to enjoy slow decay My ears have chosen not to hear the storm Raging among echoing songs Time after time, they deceive and betray Time after time, they deceive and betray Self inflicted, common sight All the meaning, burned down To face the addicted son Experience, orange moon Glance pure, in my mind To face the addicted son Daylight, so intense Forced on a grey bonded human hand I believe in the beauty of destruction The pure art to enjoy slow decay My ears have chosen not to hear the storm Raging among echoing songs I believe in the power of perfection The science that's only doomed to behold My senses forbidden, my conscience well hidden The demon's been chased to physical waste Time after time, they deceive and betray Time after time, they deceive and betray
