I paid a price to watch you burn in hell
I've paid my price to let my embers roll the dice
And in the end, I'm still of body and mind inside
Not once (not once), not twice (not twice), the shadows call to take my slice
But in the end without my body and mind they died
Fine, you win again this time
But the win is all mine 'cause you needed me to conquer the forces
No more choices keeping me from noises from the corpses bled for the slaughterhouse
May the sermons try to repeat their lies that sever the ties
I'm coming up to the surface, better than resurgence
Back again with a vengeance
'Cause you deceive me, lead me to the crows
Leave me on speed dial
Put me through trial by fire
But the ashes bring me justice, no cruxes left to fuel your dynamite
'Cause you need me, can't just bleed me fucking dry
I've woken from the ground, face first in dirt and fire
(And I see you) 'cause I paid to thread the needle
I've chosen when to strike when the fuck I desire
('Cause I killed you) as I paid to watch you read between the lines
I have paid to watch you bleed
Farm a crop field ripe for the purging
Just be aware I'm emerging
Come on up, the view is bleak
You'd know but the climb's too weak
Like you had to fucking cheek
Dragging my shackles from the peak
I've held my place by Heaven's gates
So you could pull my wings to Hell by deathly shriek
What if I like that? What if I love the noise?
If the gods tell the world I'm a martyr
What if I like that? What if I love that?
Bring the blood
I've spent my time beneath the deadline
Until the call for my broken binds
('Cause you need me, can't just bleed me dry)
I've woken from the ground, face first in dirt and fire
(And I see you) 'cause I paid to thread the needle
I've chosen when to strike when the fuck I desire
('Cause I killed you) as I paid to watch you read between the lines
I have paid to watch you bleed
As the Sun reclaims my bones
You chip away at my home
Can't just leave me here alone
'Cause you need me here to carve your tombstone
Paying the dime, checking the time
Paving the way 'cause you lied
Heed my resistance crucified
I resisted sanction
You will kneel, eat my shoes
Fuck around and you will lose
I decree what to feel but you'll just tax my carcass too
Fucking fine, I'm divine, I was needed on your line
So as you laugh, read my voice
I'll laugh last, you've got no choice
'Cause you grieve me, I've got limits to your cryptic games
And you bereaved me, took me off duty to blacken the skies
'Cause you need me, can't just bleed me dry
I've woken from the ground, face first in dirt and fire
(And I see you) 'cause I paid to thread the needle
I've chosen when to strike when the fuck I desire
('Cause I killed you) as I paid to watch you read between the lines
I have paid to watch you bleed
'Cause I paid to watch you bleed
