Verse 1
painstaking story of loss and affliction
a lullaby to poison my ears

a cross to bear can become an addiction
to a man with no hope to spare


Chorus
open up and let the devil in
I gave my mind to madness

A bliss so close to misery
I heed the call of the siren


Verse 2
I walk the path to my damnation
your god was nothing to fear

was this the key to my salvation
deaths embrace it draws me near
