lyrics

(Intro)

(Verse 1):
couldn't be baptized with the common folk.
they said I'd need a gasoline-bath, light, and a lot of smoke.
my second-death while alive is a rotten joke.
I just pray this half-life hits a stop and slows.
I can milk it; steal a few more
year-longs ‘til I hit another ceilin’.
Re-up the feelin’ from the flame, but it's lukewarm…
and the tape-worms in my skin are unappealin’.
Every sin I've done is buildin’
into a monstrosity within me.
Resisting any pity. I just want to slither through the holy land;
never hold a hand. Oly Oly Oxen Free.
Switching sides. The pact’s price was a sacrifice,
and Jehovah’s stance is: my worth keeps bottoming.
Giving tithes is me when I’m popped and bleed to death.
Head-shot. I need some rest.

(Hook):
Take my body now. It don’t belong to me.
Forget about my Wake and let me fall asleep.
The angels in my choir, they can hardly sing, or breathe…
Claw marks across the throat; third-degree burns.
chop in half the body of the serpent in the church.

(Verse 2):
I heard that Satan’s a whore.
I don't know why I'm so laced with allure.
She’ll suck you dry in the name of the Lord.
Our relations are more the sensation of war.
I’m a reptile from her X-Files.
She did me so vile. That's her sex-style.
A million ways to die; I chose
this grimy, psycho bitch. I’m left stifled.
She told me to take my time,
and maybe I'll see she's decent.
In ways, it just feeds my descent
being chained to her needs and grievances.
I’m faithless and see deceit is
the only communication I’ll be receivin’.
My scales are no longer a safe harbor.
Don't trust a snake-charmer.

(Hook):
Take my body now. It don’t belong to me.
Forget about my Wake and let me fall asleep.
The angels in my choir, they can hardly sing, or breathe…
Claw marks across the throat; third-degree burns.
chop in half the body of the serpent in the church.
