lyrics

I am lost in the realm of idealists
and fracture the status quo
you were born an original
but died a copy scorned

We bathe in mongoose blood
and cast aside those heavy floods
I’ve scaled the mountain
I hope, I pray I’m dreaming
hold no debt at all.
Guess I’ve been so stupid and I’m ready for the fall

I’ll show you what I'll hold most dear
We watched the sky ignite to sound of our fears
Vultures waiting for the dead
I’ll cut my soul into thirds and give you the head
a murder of the innocence in me
A murmurs all it was to me you broke the chains and set me free.

I've shown you my fangs
now you show me yours.
I've shown you my fangs
now you show me yours.

You’re a rattlesnake
plain to see
you’ve had your chance
and blew it for me.
Though I've stayed the course
I hear your castanets
shouting no remorse.

we're just a tool to their mob
A spanner in their rusted cog
A scapegoat on the block
Red Hood fending your own flock.
A bite, a sting of innocence,
I watch the bleeding start to thin
was this an another fairer fight
You marked me from an Eagles height
A murder in the 1st degree,
cut the threads you went for me.
A murmurs all it was to me you broke the chains and set me free.


I've shown you my fangs
now you show me yours.
I've shown you my fangs
now you show me yours.

you’re a rattlesnake
plain to see
you’ve had your chance
and blew it for me.
though I've stayed the course
I hear your castanets
shouting no remorse.

we’ve bathed in mongoose blood
and cast aside those heavy floods
I’ve scaled the mountain
I pray I'm always dreaming
hold no debt at all.
Guess I’ve been so stupid and I’m ready for the fall
