Brother, forgive me
We both know I'm the one to blame
'Cause when I saw my demons
I knew them well and welcomed them
I knew them well and welcomed them
But I'll come around
I'll come around
Father, have mercy
I know that I have gone astray
'Cause when I saw my reflection
It was a stranger beneath my face
It was a stranger beneath my face
but I'll come around
someday
when I touch the water
they tell me I could be set free
so I'll come around
someday
He said to me, "Child, I'm afraid for your soul,
These things that you're after, they can't be controlled
This beast that you're after will eat you alive
And spit out your bones
She'll string you along, and she'll sell you a lie
There's nothing but pain on the edge of a knife
And there is no courage in flirting with fear
To prove you're alive
I've seen the true face of the things you call life
The song of the siren that holds your desire
Death, she is cunning and clever as hell
And she'll eat you alive"
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
She'll eat you alive
