Always blocking the doors to your mind Escaping reality that surrounds you Using faith an excuse to kill A sick way of life is now revealed All the prayers in the world can't help you now A killer a taker of life is what you are Speak no more lies It's your turn to die Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took a holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind, your life you should pay Practice what you preach Your loved one is now deceased Knowledge is at our hands Never to understand Spiritual healing Blinded by twisted ways you live Kill for religion, will the Lord forgive? Idiocy has stricken your mind A real-life hell you will find All the prayers in the world can't help you now A killer a taker of life is what you are Speak no more lies It's your turn to die Preach the good word Speak no more, prepare to burn A justified torture? From this may others learn The life you took a holy death, a grave mistake No changing your mind, your life you should pay

Did you ever love a woman with a death wish? Something in her eyes, like flipping off a light switch Everybody dies, but you gotta find a reason to carry on Oh, and did you ever catch her climbing on the rooftop Higher than a kite, dead of winter in a tank top? I don't wanna fight with you, baby, but I won't leave you alone The night was young once, we were the wild ones 'Fore we had to pay attention to the violence Anything could happen, but nothing ever really did I wanted action, she wanted answers Sunrise with the dealers and the dancers It takes a whole lot of medicine to feel like a little kid Oh, and did you ever love a woman with a death wish?

I told you once but I will say it again When you live the flesh it's the beginning of the end It will take you in, it will spit you out Behold the flesh and the power it holds Passion is a poison laced with pleasure bitter sweet One of many faces that hides deep beneath It will take you in, it will spit you out Behold the flesh and the power it holds Touch, taste, breathe, consumed Deja vu, already knew from the first encounter But now I know to let go of words to speak no more Like a wind upon your face you can't see it but you know it's there When beauty shows its ugly face, just be prepared Passion burns like fire carried by the wind The end of a time, a time to begin It will take you in, it will spit you out Behold the flesh and the power it holds It's build you up one way and tears you right back down A time to begin the end of a time It will take you in, it will spit you out Behold the flesh and the power it holds Touch, taste, breathe, consumed Deja vu, already knew from the first encounter But now I know to let go of words to speak no more Like a wind upon your face you can't see it but you know it's there When beauty shows its ugly face, just be prepared
