The Taste of Copper Rising

Bid my blood to rise

To seek revenge upon they whom I despise

Bid my eyes to see past the lies

Of they who would betray me

Once my usefulness has died


The taste of copper rising

The sight of deep red life

And the end of all this strife

It's really unsurprising

So I welcome with open arms

The taste of copper rising


You thought to use me as your spy

Back then I was such a naïve young thing

So sweet, so innocent

But still, a free spirit

Took me awhile to know what that meant

You used my innocence

To your own advantage

Did you think I would allow this?

Well you should know

I'm not your average girl next door

You lied to me

Led me to believe

You would be there in my hour of need

But beneath your polished surface

I see your rotten core

Send notice to your next of kin

If they don't become a casualty

For now we're going to war

Now, we're going

To war


The taste of copper rising

The sight of deep red life

And the end of all this strife

It's really unsurprising

So I welcome with open arms

The taste of copper rising

The taste of copper rising

So I welcome with open arms

The taste of copper rising
