the soul of your boy, as I promised, in this toy Pull his strings and hear my laughter No use in trying, the damage is done What have I done, oh, my beautiful son The deal has been sealed, signed,

inside I feel the blackout coming A boiled blister pops inside My ears still bleed With razor-sharp precision Mouths that mouth the sweetness Dank of final breath upon my chest See the features of my rage Begin to shoot the fiend without a face My face We lasted all night The dogs keep up and snickering Just stay with me one moment Then I'll go away My ears still bleed With razor-sharp precision I'll burn in hell Before I plunge into life's darkness Darkness See the features of my rage Begin to shoot the fiend without a face See the features of my rage Begin to shoot the fiend without a face My face A fiend without a face A fiend without a face A fiend without a face A fiend without a face BRUISER ------- All I feel is pain it seems today A dark angel leads me to evil far beyond the grave

more moments of moonlight We'll still be waiting I'm still waiting for you Those sick dead eyes tell me, tell me you are mine I am afraid that the end is here No more moments of moonlight I have been there to push you through, Down, down, down through the deep dark wells Through the animal realm Let me be the one, the first to welcome you to hell Your poor pathetic lies and evil ways have brought you here Give it all to me I need for you to stay here with me Don't go away I'll stay here with you until the end of time, until it all goes away Don't run this way RISE ABOVE ---------- Jealous
