For twelve strokes twice a day,
I toil to burn at the stake
She gets off, she loves to watch,
She loves to watch me burn.
Again is another mountian to climb,
To be perched on a summit,
With a misty morning view,
To see the face of my nightmare come true.
I long to die beneath the mist,
I long to become the breathe on god's fucking kiss,
To create a world and die in it,
To create my world and die in it.
And I'm dyin in it!
Mask of rage upon my face,
As I tear the veil from grace,
No more shall I be this way,
Living in hatred and full of disgrace.
Again is another cave to explore,
To be descending rapidly and outta control,
With a misty morning view,
To see the face of my nightmare come true.
I long to die beneath the mist,
I long to feel the sad coldness all over my body,
I will live for me and not die for you,
I will live for me, I'm not dyin for you,
I not dyin for you!
I will not be burned at the stake,
I'm prepared to drown in my own lake,
Free from all your self-destruction,
Free from your capitalist devotion.
