I feel the hand of death closing my eyes
Nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
Sprawled out across the floor tonight
There is no more of your petty excuses or lies
My heart was battered and bruised
It's all because of you
I'm broken, left black and blue
Sever the ties that held us together under jet black skies on this tainted night
I'm left conflicted, constricted
My soul forever wicked
A bastard stricken with remorse
A shell is all that's left of my existence
Turn the blade crimson
My last resort
Kicked when down and left to die
Revenge is sought under tainted sky
Deep inside this twisted mind
Is a blackened past that leaves me blind
Don't hunt what you can't kill
Hate in my eyes, fire at will
Feel my heart, my loves drowning wrath
Damn me to hell so I never come back
(Pick your poison)
I'll let you make the choice
(With your last breath)
I'll let you use your voice
(Pick your poison)
Decide your own demise
(Let it rain red)
On this tainted night
Now the charade is over
No longer am I sober enough to mend all the scars
I've always known deep down just how much of a worthless disgusting piece of fuck you are
Your neck will break
Your blood will spill for all the living in sin you've committed
Razor embraces your flesh
Your life is slipping away
With my hands wrapped around your neck
Pick your poison
(Pick your poison)
Kicked when down and left to die
Revenge is sought under tainted sky
Deep inside this twisted mind
Is a blackened past that leaves me blind
Don't hunt what you can't kill
Hate in my eyes, fire at will
Feel my heart, my loves drowning wrath
Damn me to hell so I never come back
