O’ father, how you have sinned
You have sinned so violently
O’ master, how you are cruel
I your marionette, the fool
I will not forgive what you have done
I won’t allow your redemption
I will not live on my knees for your salvation
Your fall from grace
I say to you:
O’ father, how you have sinned
You have sinned so violently
O’ master, how you are cruel
I your marionette, the fool
The joy from our pain is your sick relief
Eternal suffering release me, I’m begging you please
Let me stand on my own and I will make the call
Whether I will hold you up, or watch you fall
I will not forgive what you have done
I will never accept your salvation
I will not forget what you’ve done
I won’t allow your redemption
You are all knowing, all loving, and all good
All knowing, all loving, all good
Heavenly executioner hidden by the hood
The hood conceals the terror of your truth
And the truth is:
You are the lying tongue
The hand that shed our innocent blood
Divine abomination
Oh God.
I will not forgive what you have done
I will never accept your salvation
I will not forget what you’ve done
I won’t allow your redemption
The illusion is that we are free
O’ father, how you have sinned
You have sinned so violently
O’ master, how you are cruel
I your marionette, the fool

I've felt the pop of the needle sliding into my veins
like a fang into flesh.
I've been enveloped in the golden haze where nothing is wrong
even when all is falling apart.
My dance with a hypodermic fiend,
my hands in the claws of a vulture.
Heat washes over me, and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter, hold me until I’m numb
For a sweet moment I fight, as it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood, the rush of the hit
You gave me wings,
but you took away the sky
You gave me wings,
This is what it feels like to die
I've felt the pop of the needle sliding into my veins
like a fang into flesh.
I've been enveloped in the golden haze where nothing is wrong
my hands in the claws of a vulture.
Looking toward the chemical pulpit for answers
Through its deception, I’m shown the truth
And though it ignites a fire inside of my head
I’ve fallen for the ruse
Heat washes over me, and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter, hold me until I’m numb
For a sweet moment I fight, as it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood, the rush of the hit
You gave me wings,
but you took away the sky
You gave me wings,
This is what it feels like to die
This is what it feels like to die
Usurper of my rational decisions, my body shudders
You are my warm blanket in the dead of night
The concoction reaches its hand out to me
And the needle grins at my dependency
Through its deception, I’m shown the truth
Through its deception, I’m shown the truth
RELAPSE
Heat washes over me, and wraps me in her familiar grasp
The embrace, I beg to be held tighter, hold me until I’m numb
For a sweet moment I fight, as it tightens its grip
It works its way through my blood, the rush of the hit
You gave me wings,
but you took away the sky
You gave me wings,
This is what it feels like to die
