When I lay in sheets of satin Upon a bed of thorns The wind howls like a woman Cradling her baby, still born
With ****** deep in my heart And hate smothered in my fist The rabid rain cuts like razor blades On the edge of a five fingered kiss
And I held the company of angels Sorrowed by the weight of their halos If Heaven should burn, nobody'd know 'Till the ashes blow through Desolation Row
Inside these prison walls I made good friends with the ghosts But good friends don't last, and sick of death Wrapped their chains around their throats
There's a storm in the East coming quickly I can hear Satan's stomach growl I was told to wait here for salvation But my soul is emaciated now
The world is the taste of steel Lips wrapped around a revolver Despair to dust, and no collector All your precious prayers no longer matter
My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? I bid my faith in you farewell So I will walk alone through the ice and the cold Kept warm by the fires of Hell
