Slaying the Dreamer
I'm a priest for the poorest sacrificeI'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow and greedYou bathed in my wineDrank from my cup, mocked my rhymeYour slit tongues licked my aching wounds
Put a stake through my heart!And drag me into sunlightSo awake for your greedAs you're slaying the dreamer
Swansong for the Wish of NightGod it hurts, give a name to the painOur primrose path to hell is growing weed
Put a stake through my heart!And drag me into sunlightSo awake for your greedAs you're slaying the dreamer
Blame me, it's meCoward, a good-for-nothing scapegoatDumb kid, living a dreamRomantic only on paperTell me why you took all that was mine!Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray!
Wake up, mow the weedYou'd be nothing without meTake my life if you have the heart to die
You bastards tainted my toolRaped my words, played me a foolGather your precious glitter and leave me beThe Great Ones are all deadAnd I'm tired, tooI truly hate you all!
