I have paid the piper
And I have done my time
The little voice inside my head

Grows unspeakably unkind
Like a diamond on a grinder
Like a hammer on a pearl

Like a big chain around my brain again
Fast and tied to the tilt a whirl
Oh how I long for vengeance

In this song of tragedy
Enchanted days of witness
To the virgin harmony

Ever since september
My heart has been bone dry
And the !@$(s they should have killed me

When they made my angel cry
The watermark is waiting
I will never be the same


I'll be rain
Falling all around you again

God forgive me for my sin
But I won't be satisfied
Until the sun comes shining through


There's a snake down in the manger
There's a rat in the baby's bed

I'll be the one from now on
To put dreams in their head
Through thick mud and bad blood

We'll crawl through eden's gate
Trying to recapture
What they took from us that day
