Sinking Deep Hands Under Skin Flesh To Me Born So Black Its been with me forever but we've seemed colour blind I've hung onto shame Now I suggest you pray You said we be together On your back forever But time and time again you've let me down I was born on a devil's back Never seeing what was in front of me Born on the Devil's back Will you just let me down

Born On A Devils Back (Metal Poem)

Sinking Deep Hands Under Skin Flesh To Me Born So Black Its been with me forever but we've seemed colour blind I've hung onto shame Now I suggest you pray You said we be together On your back forever But time and time again you've let me down I was born on a devil's back Never seeing what was in front of me Born on the Devil's back Will you just let me down

And so once again I find myself upon Another English Rose In between and up above The passion that provides the throws

As I choke your throat You gouge my eyes My body desires more You scratch my skin I cut you deep Leave you breathing on the floor Carve an imprint On my brain Easier said than done This blood thirst I have in me Is a hunger that won't succumb Can you live with this Live with the consequence Can you live with this When the knife is in your hand You're a wishing well full of hate When the knife is in your hand

The Consequences Are Potentially Devastating

As I choke your throat You gouge my eyes My body desires more You scratch my skin I cut you deep Leave you breathing on the floor Carve an imprint On my brain Easier said than done This blood thirst I have in me Is a hunger that won't succumb Can you live with this Live with the consequence Can you live with this When the knife is in your hand You're a wishing well full of hate When the knife is in your hand

When does faith become fairytale? And would be heroes Take to the stage to say their piece Who will listen, who will take note? Put them on a pedestal And see what we can learn. When does faith become fairytale? When the dragons being slain Are the people who don't believe In the same ideals But think for themselves When does faith become fairytale? When does faith become fairytale? Is it when the happily ever after Comes at the cost Of innocent lives lost Is YOUR faith a fairytale? When there is no happily ever after And all the dragons have been slain When the heroes turn their poison tongues And whisper to your ear Who will be left To think for themselves And turn this world around Will they see through the false facade But teach to no avail? When does faith become fairytale?

This will always hurt if it ever starts. As we fake this time together I'll wait for you to break my heart. Sorry for the pain all I've ever caused. Shouldn't have been so selfish forgive these many flaws. I'll disapoint you if you let me and let me you have done. Piece together these shattered parts to make the man i have become. Now its me who feels like a ghost its my life I miss the most. Gave it up now it seems for you to live your dreams.

Before you hear that voice inside your head look before you leap When no-bodies around to offer solace pray your soul to keep Amongst the chaos and all this sin try keep your pure heart, buried deep within If you're comfortable with the skin you're in you have nothing left to fear Remember its only human empathy that makes you shed that tear.

Before you hear that voice inside your head look before you leap When no-bodies around to offer solace pray your soul to keep Amongst the chaos and all this sin try keep your pure heart, buried deep within If you're comfortable with the skin you're in you have nothing left to fear Remember its only human empathy that makes you shed that tear.
