They said you're only worth what you've got

And you've got nothing more than you give,

but how can you place a price on brimstone and ice?

Who would pay for the dissembling qualities I posess,

the power to delve so deeply into the mind,

In to the recesses,

and give forth a sporting spout of lies?

I tell you now, and I know you well,

The heart is incased in frozen water,

ones that cannot be melted by the Old Boy, nor the Father

and it twists under pressure, until you can't tell

That beneath the frozen facings

You'll find it to be bracing,

a heart of good warmth was felled.

Brimstone and ice

and a good dose of lies,

are all that I have to tell...

So please give me a price,

Help me melt my ice

and please,

take me away from my Hell.
