I welcome him with open arms

Take me away in pools of blood

Send me to sleep in piles of

My enemies or once thereof

I'm tired of the constant paint

Let only the dark faces reign

Release the happy, hold onto the pain

For once it's over

Their souls are yours to gain

Hang me on top of the food chain

Make me a scene for those who blame

I once was broken, well, still I am

Inside I am a broken man

I once was happy once I said

For when they come and bring the dead

We'll welcome them with open arms

Tear out the liver, eat the heart

The heart, it is a complex thing

I cannot seem to let them ring

The bells that Satan has to bring

They chime and for once

I can feel everything

F*ck
