You'll Burn Too

Your words are knives

Piercing into my skin

Leaving jagged scars so deep

I can't tell where old wounds have healed

And the remnants of your torture begin

My lips sewn shut, my tongue sealed

So I can never scream of your cruel sin

I wouldn't tell anyway

For I am the fool who let you in


If you wanted me dead

Why not put me out of my misery?

Is killing me slow your show of victory?

For if my blood is what you crave

I'll bleed a trail of crimson straight to my grave


For you, I'll peel my flesh

If you wish it as your trophy

No matter if the act is unholy

And when my soul crawls in the depths of Hell

I'll keep space for you in my barren cell


For if I am burning

You'll burn too

You promised forever

And in the ashes

Our oath will bare true.
