Last night I stole a secret From the sleeping gods A recipe for tyranny The human world forgot I learned about a potion That places in your hands The strings of fate and motion Of life to sudden end One drop drowns your memory In the lake of loss [(One drop)] One drop sells your sanity And nails you to the cross [(One drop)] It places seven splinters In your open eyes Turns the world around you Into a thousand lies It takes away your breathing And blows it to the wind Along with your confession "Father, I have sinned!" One drop drowns your memory In the lake of loss [(One drop)] One drop sells your sanity And nails you to the cross [(One drop)] One drop bends you to my will My will and my demand [(One drop)] One drop and the world stands still And waits for my command One drop drowns your memory In the lake of loss [(One drop)] One drop sells your sanity And nails you to the cross [(One drop)] One drop bends you to my will My will and my demand [(One drop)] One drop and the world stands still And waits for my command
