Take me to a destination
Far beyond my home
Hold me to a situation
My blood on a stone
A crucifix that I can’t see
A sacrificial pyre
My nightmares give you petrol
To fuel my funeral fire
And I cry
My Heart dies
Twist your thorns into a crown and place upon my head
Taste the whip and bring it down taste the living dead
I can’t see and I can’t breathe a love that tastes so sour
Lightning flicks and magic tricks to mark my final hour
Cut my wrists cut my throat
Condemn my soul to hell
There’s a burning innocence
A flame inside a cell
Wake me from my nightmare
Call me from my sleep
Close your eyes and say the prayer
To send me to the deep
And I cry
My Heart dies
Twist your thorns into a crown and place upon my head
Taste the whip and bring it down taste the living dead
I can’t see and I can’t breathe a love that tastes so sour
Lightning flicks and magic tricks to mark my final hour
Open up a memory
That makes you cry inside
Bow down for your master
For she shall decide
Take a dream of laughter
Take a dream of lust
She takes you from your angel’s wings
And turns them into dust
And I cry
My Heart dies
Twist your thorns into a crown and place upon my head
Taste the whip and bring it down taste the living dead
I can’t see and I can’t breathe a love that tastes so sour
Lightning flicks and magic tricks to mark my final hour
