Self Crucifixion — текст песни (Virgin Steele)

[Music and lyrics: De Feis]

I`m not sleepin` the walls are down
and your hands are icy cold
under water thru che sound of fear
comes a drowned and cold reply
and the mist still hangs around the gallows
like the anger after the violent rain

[Chorus:]
Die if you will die if you want to
there`s no mistake the ending is clean
the fire is cold in the ashes of memory
there`s no escape from this hotel

Like a child who lies to win
then eats of his own flesh
holy water can`t save you now
you`ve hungered far too long
and the words once spoken
now ring hollow as the mind that
shatters your flesh with nails

[Chorus]

I`m not sleepin` I`m alive for you
you, you`ll try again save yourself
the dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun
the son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed

[Chorus]

No escape the ending is clean
it doesn`t have to be this way
