Lie in this state Of perdition Never to awake It negates An admission Stricken by fate There's no salvation it dwells in your bones There's no remission this sickness it owns Make love to denial her sober embrace Nails they've embedded never to release In madness we shall reign Down out In madness we shall reign Hail Mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine I numb it down Heavens fleeting kiss envelops thee It surrounds So in vain we stab at the beast Count the 12 times you step equal 12 times you fail No abstination relapse tip the scale As you swallow the hook And you chew on the line Choke on the sinker In this sea of lies In madness we shall reign Hail Mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Broke vows and broken rosaries Bind these rusted hopeless dreams Broke vows and broken rosaries Bind these rusted hands in prayer Faith trust and love are mowed down lonely In these killing fields Deep in the throes of addiction Now my blood's running black My fixation is caught in its clutches As the sun sets on my soul In endless twilight It is eclipsed Hail Mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Slowly we dance with temptation Good intentions are sold For the price of fool's gold and sedation Take now this demon by its hand And slice it off Hail Mary our divine Littered souls across a great divide In our obsession thou cast pearls before the swine Take the ache beneath my bones Peel the skin away and leave my body exposed No grace awaits this broken soul
