Type O Negative - She Burned Me Down

Been given the keys
I knew I'd receive
Be careful what you're asking for
Thy rod and thy staff
Simply twelve toned math
An earful opening all doors

Simon the Roman
Gone fission for man
If you're caught is to be freed
Come open your lock
By using a rock
Or sowing the proper seeds

Woe to thee all women
Of land, air, and sea
Adam was the serpent
Apple 'tween his knees
Seduced by a snake
Worshiped by nations
Banished forth from Eden
It's the male who is Satan

From the tree of knowledge
(A metaphor for sex)
Plucked a ripened globe of fruit
That of her innocence
Since forbidden, resisted
Forcing her to taste
Now I know why girls hate boys
Cause Eve was in fact raped

We ain't goin' home, got nowhere to go Открыть страницу с текстом

First to admit I’m a doomed droog addict
And I always will be hey man, don’t follow me
No excuses for drug abuse
Said these lines a thousand times
Don’t want to live atrial fib from neurosis, xerosis

Please make me smile if you learn from my trial
Baby I’ll pay the price maybe saving your life for ya
I can’t state this point enough
The pickup’s easy, but the put down’s rough
Up the nose or tap a vein no one else but you to blame

I can’t believe I died last night, Oh God I’m dead again
I can’t believe I died last night, I’m fucking dead again

Chemical joy turning thee paranoid
Recently buried deep(ly) Greenwood Cemetery
I had no pulse last time I checked
I’d trade my life for self respect
There are some things worse than death

I can’t believe I died last night, Oh God I’m dead again
I can’t believe I died last night, I’m fucking dead again Открыть страницу с текстом

Once upon a slime
I thought you royalty
I would never have questioned
Your loyalty
Don't act so surprised
I saw through your disguise
But with friends like you
Prefer my enemies

Up until recently
Never had a clue
In a way I must admit
I pity you

I'm through with your kind
Cause you've wasted my time
Please do not release them
Lord knows what they do

I can't believe how cruel life is
Emotional blackmail
Makes me sick, oh so sick

Who is to blame for constant shame on you
These words I use, don't confuse with cool
This misfortune, not lost but won deserved
Choosing is hard
Careful which god you serve

Traitors many, surrounding me, cowards
Conspiracy so clear to see flowers
We were brothers 'til discovered deceit
Tried with treason
That's the reason you're beat

All hail and farewell to Britain
All hail and farewell to thee
All hail and farewell to England
All hail and farewell to me Открыть страницу с текстом

The dead they got that morbid beat
It goes deo deo
They dance upon decaying feet
With their black toes, oh no
Heaven, limbo, and hell
Purgatory oh well, oh well

Halloween in heaven
It's Christmas in hell
Halloween in heaven
Oh well, oh well

The devil stole a yule tree
Decorated with souls
Jesus trick or treating
As him below
Heaven, limbo, and hell
Purgatory oh well, oh well

Halloween in heaven
It's Christmas in hell
Halloween in heaven
Oh well, oh well

Bonham on drums, Entwistle on bass
As guest morticians
Bon Scott on vox
Rhoads just for kicks
On guitar Hendrix
Lennon sits in
With his friend George
But where is Morrison?

Of course I cried
When I heard they'd died
And took a part of me
Same time gave
From beyond the grave
Became what was meant to be

Elvis ain't dead
So he isn't here
Party never ends
Demon roadies, angel groupies
Suicide losers
If only I'd known how cool death is
I'd have killed myself sooner

Of harps and choirs
Pumpkin pine pyres
Flames of red and green
Orange and black
Years take me back
Christmas or Halloween

Halloween in heaven
It's Christmas in hell
Halloween in heaven
Oh well, oh well Открыть страницу с текстом

September sun blowing golden hair
Now keep in mind son
She was never there
October's rust
Bisecting black storm clouds
Only the deaf hear my silent shouts

Yet in the dark, still he screams your name
Nights living death with witch rhymes insane
Ten years amassed, para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time, was his name Peter?

September sun, rotted flatbush porch
I would have run then, had I known the cost
Autumnal rays turned your eyes to stone
Did it give you pleasure to steal my soul?

Yet in the dark, still he screams your name
Nights living death with witch rhymes insane
Ten years amassed, para toda mi vida?
Lost man in time, was his name Peter?

Leave her, Leave her alone
I said leave her alone

Me? I know why Открыть страницу с текстом

She burned me down, down to the ground
Blood, though thicker than water, is harder to clean up
You'll get it in the end, boy, if the weapon of choice is blood
Expecting it from a stranger, or maybe an aquaintance
Never from family or friends, though
A simple mistake and expense
She burned me down, down to the ground

Pissed and disappointed, I pray to learn to forgive
If I can't find it in my heart, then I have no reason to live

Here is an education, the lesson professed is quite cruel
There are some things worse than death
And one of them is you

Every time I see her start a fire
I get higher Открыть страницу с текстом

I can't play God
Forgiveness is hard
Forgiving also as tough
I have my orders
Blood's thicker than water
Though much harder to clean up

I.O.I.
In on it
I.O.I.
In on it
Never forget

Punching in walls
To prove I've got balls
Only got me busted knuckles
Therapy is slow
And jail is a no
A rotting tit on which I suckle

I.O.I.
In on it
I.O.I.
In on it
Never forget

Some stupid tomorrow
Some stupid today
Some stupid tomorrow
Go away, go away

Of this shape a star of five
Also applies to the one with six sides
Against the sun and against the moon
I warn you that these two combined
Will bring man's doom
Of ten horns and seven heads
Count your fingers and the continents
On your forehead or in your right hand
This new moral code that the media commands

Believe not in their clever words
Because faith inact(ed) are the loudest heard
All these things I say are true
Understood sadly by a chosen few

April 2029 the final time
The end my friend is not near
The hour in fact is quite here
When the moon becomes red
To guide the living dead
This means God's turned his back on you
It's a Friday 13th of course
You won't live to see noon

I am a prophet of doom

So now the star has fallen
Washing away the seas
The seventh seal's been opened
It's raining your fears
Are you paranoid
The coming asteroid
Has got your name tattooed on it
This stone's called Apophis

It brings apocalypse
I am a prophet of doom

Speak the name of he
Created thee all to be
Which should not be spoken
No laws broken

Now life and love the stars above
Which fall upon the all that worship the beast
Influences ceased

My faith is an ember
Burning ever
Working towards a greater reward
Serving my lured

Built this home upon the rock
Not of the flock
But coming as a shepherd
Guarding his herd

My soul's on fire Открыть страницу с текстом

The child is torn
From the womb unbaptised
There's no question
It's infanticide
I'm guilty so therefore condemned
Destroying angels must come to an end
Now in limbo
Deprived of paradise
That's not so nice

At the end I'll escort you to hell
The dark one's forces
Lock your flaming cell
To murder the one's unborn
The worst sin you've ever performed
There are two other things I will tell
Know them well

With due respect
Hear these words of caution
If considering an abortion
If you dig boiling sulphur
To which I will not concur
Leading to a path of misfortune
No one won

Of a land that shuns the son
So alien call it Area 5-1
Should there be failure to convert Zion
What came as a lamb
Returning as a lion

Not a nation but a self proclaimed state
Since the year of our lord 1-9-4-8
The road to redemption leads through deserts
Rocky though the trip through is well worth it

I am the duel of the fisherman Simon
He brought alpha, omega, yes I'm the one
The twins fell beginning Armadgeddon
So the whore too who dwelleth in Babylon
All his people gathered round
Through forgiveness salvation found Открыть страницу с текстом

Say the word and I'll be healed
Opened eyes grease my wheels
Since my vision's be restored

Trip me once shame on you
Trip me twice I'm the fool
Thought it's hidden
I've been cured

Patience is divine but the virtue is not mine
Turn your cheek gets ripped off
That's why God gave us four

This is how you spend life
Amused by another's strife
Makes me so sad and confused
Someone's pain your leisure
Can't explain sick pleasure
I'm so glad I'm not you

Throwing wrenches gave a false sense of power
What started sweet will soon turn sour
You think it's your place to dispense justice
Well I've been sent to judge the judges

God damn love cause it's breaking my heart
And if I had one wish, I'd see in the dark

Tripping a blind man
So easy to do
Tripping a blind man
Why can't it be you?

You want to play god
And I know you will
If that's the case
I'll be the devil

Now who the fuck are you
To discipline me
Innocence condemned by the guilty

God damn love cause it's breaking my heart
And if I had one wish, I'd see in the dark

Losing grip of his seeing eye dog's spiky collar
Panicking the startled pet
Ran to the street
Sanitation truck skidding, unable to stop
Shoveled up what was left of
His canine Spot

As they left, the ground turned muddy crimson
Where's my mutt? the victim requested
EMS responded "he had to say bye"
Teary eyed, the old man cried then died Открыть страницу с текстом
