Come in, come inside
Ask what you want from me, I'll give it to thee
Perhaps the jewels in my hand or intel on the sweet girls in thievery
Nary shall you be denied, lest the price be the fire in my hand or the blood from my insides
Cast aside my morals for the sweet taste of safety
Sold my soul to the devil for this lush velvet casing
The wind blows cold and steady, whispering to me
This is what I want, isn't it truly?
Watch as the fire falters
Prometheus kneels at the altar
You know the price, you do the crime, now serve your time
Anchored to that rock, here comes the eagle's flock
Your ink stained hands search for fortune
Soap cannot cleanse you
Better know the lives you cost than know the unbearable loss
You knew the consequences of sneaking through the night
Giving the humans simple plight and acting as their guiding light
The sky has no mercy for you, a canvas painted red with the blood of those you slew
Those gold rings on your hands are cold against your skin
The veil can't save you anymore, you've lost your way
It's clear as day that you do your namesake a disservice
What does it truly mean to me?
Please, oh, please, I'm only doing this for safety
But the fuel is piling up and my matches are dying down
I know too much, can't say a word
Rip the veil off, is this what you wanted?
Discard me, I cannot be of service
I shan't break our vows but promise me to keep my secrets
My ink stained hands brush against the parchment
Black and red drip, drip, drip against the metal
God, I think I've gone mental
Took three steps too far, but I need to back out of it now
I don't know if I can save me
Watching as the fire falters
I kneel at the altar
I know the price, I do the crime, now I must serve my time
Anchored to this rock, here comes the eagle's flock
My ink stained hands searched for fortune
Soap cannot cleanse me
I know the lives I cost and the lies I tossed
It's clear as day that I deserve not this name
But the matches dwindle down, down, down
In the light glints my crown
This is what I wanted, surely?
But your words and taunts haunt me...
