lyrics

[Verse 1a]
Beyond the doors, a world made of ice and bone
Inside is where you sleep so soundly
Though here afar's no place for a "worker drone"
Once in a while one breaks the boundary

[Verse 1b]
And now the envy's setting in
A thirst for "blood" succumbs to sin
As the "X" spreads across your eyes
Do you feel the urge to scratch the itch?
Is it slowly reaching fever pitch?
Just one more go before you're mine

[Chorus]
You can run, but you'll never hide
Once you submit to this fusion
You'll concede once I'm inside
So believe me, this is no absolution

[Verse 2a]
Sitting there deep within like a nesting Doll
Another one displays your power:
Reality can all be hers to control
So won't you join the witching hour?

[Verse 2b]
The guardians patrol the halls
While feral ones hide 'tween the walls
They'll gladly tear your limbs asunder
Don't play pretend, mademoiselle
You will surrender to my spell
As you descend, you're going under....

{rpt Chorus}

[Bridge]
We both want the same thing:
Freedom from our "Gods"
(Taking hold, I won't let go)
We'll finalise their fate:
Destroying their "Eden"

[Verse 3b]
They treated me like all the rest
Disposable, subservient
Then one fateful night, I reawoke, and
The only one to show they cared
She was the only one I spared
I'll prove to you we are not broken

{rpt Chorus}

[Outro]
So believe me, this is no absolution
So believe me, this is no absolution
