A song of impending self-destruction and being torn between murder and keeping a life. Keeping, that is, if destroyed, the joy of the murder would only happen once. "I will never forgive the things you've done. And, I will never forget, how hard I’ve run, from this..."
lyrics
I will never forgive the things you’ve done.
And, I will never forget, how hard I’ve run, from this.
Your brimstone words broke me, to ground.
When once my queen, (now) emptied – no crown.
I’ve run this curse you gave me – to ground.
And you deserve nothing…
But sickness and death…
And I can only run so far,
and so fast from this.
And everything has been so hard,
I’ve lost my soul in this.
(instrumental)
And I can only run so far!
And so fast from this!
And everything has been so hard!
I’ve lost my soul in this!
And if I had my way,
I’d wring you dead!
Or force your neck to the chopping block!
And hack your body to pieces ‘for I took your head!
Force your neck to the chopping block,
And hack your body to pieces ‘for I took your head…
In my dreams,
I’ve killed you a million times…
But, in reality, I’ve reason to keep you alive.
You see, if I kill you I cannot kill you again!
And, that’s a diamond, I am not willing to spend.
If I kill you I cannot kill you again!
And, that’s a diamond, I am not willing to spend.
If I kill you I cannot kill you again?
(repeat forever)
If I kill you I cannot kill you again?!
