Virgin Steele - Self Crucifixion LYRICS

[Music and lyrics: De Feis]



I'm not sleepin' the walls are down

and your hands are icy cold

under water thru che sound of fear

comes a drowned and cold reply

and the mist still hangs around the gallows

like the anger after the violent rain



[Chorus:]

Die if you will die if you want to

there's no mistake the ending is clean

the fire is cold in the ashes of memory

there's no escape from this hotel



Like a child who lies to win

then eats of his own flesh

holy water can't save you now

you've hungered far too long

and the words once spoken

now ring hollow as the mind that

shatters your flesh with nails



[Chorus]



I'm not sleepin' I'm alive for you

you, you'll try again save yourself

the dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun

the son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed



[Chorus]



No escape the ending is clean

it doesn't have to be this way
