from Pale Devil Sun: Sacred Malice (2020 December 10) (3:29)
I'm not gonna stop myself this time, gonna let it break on through
No heart to hold me back, wanna soak my hands in crimson black
I realize now that all I knew was just facade
Rabid and rehearsed again, parasites that crowd the way
Violent stupidity viral bleeding through the clay
Meaningless and sanctified words you never have to speak:
"Time to break the silence now, here's the purging that you seek
Scream for me, scream for me, scream for me, scream now my dying love
Show me what exquisite pain is, scream for me, your god above
Scream for me, scream for me, scream for me, scream now my dying love
Show me what exquisite pain is, scream for me your god above
I won't destroy myself, much better to take it out on you
My favorite parasite, choke it down til you can't take it
I can't control myself, won't stop until I've had my fill
Gonna force it deep inside, take it all
Take take it all, take it all, take it all until I'm through"
She tells me "this is suicide...but I'm not through"
No heart to hold me back, wanna soak my hands in crimson black
I realize now that all I knew was just facade
Rabid and rehearsed again, parasites that crowd the way
Violent stupidity viral bleeding through the clay
