about

Lyrics:

There’s a bible on the shelf and inside it has your name
And your mothers dry tears stain her very favorite page
A paper anchor that she prayed would bring home
Though you lived most of your life lost out in the woods
When you thought you found love too late understood
That a sheep's disguise can come in many shades

Pre Chorus:

Consorting with the darkness, blinded by your pain
Give to him, body and soul

So you conjured up a deal and you sealed it with a kiss
So blinded by it’s mask that I see you must have missed
The tendrils of beast as they dug into your brain
And now your trapped in yourself and you’re losing your grip
Just a final desperate gasp as you plunge into the pit
From your lips it smiles and takes his name in vain

Pre Chorus:

Consorting with the darkness, blinded by your pain
Give to him your body and soul

Chorus:

When you play with fire you are bound to get burnt
The devil is a liar but you heard his words first
The pain you hide is written on your face
With the sounding of the tenth horn a seventh head turns
A shadow steps free of the candles he burns
The forest comes alive and the wolves begin to bay

You will not rest
Perdition pulls you in
Led blindly to the slaughter
Burning in your sin

You fall forever in the void and your life flash past
All the signs you missed, and judgement you lacked
Swept away in a torrent and lost eternally
There’s no coming back silence sets in
Strapped to the floor just you and it
Forever to be meat to the beast with no name

Pre Chorus:

Consorting with the darkness, blinded by your pain
Give to him, body and soul

Chorus:

When you play with fire you are bound to get burnt
The devil is a liar but you heard his words first
The pain you hide is written on your face
With the sounding of the tenth horn a seventh head turns
A shadow steps free of the candles he burns
The forest comes alive and the wolves begin to bay
x2

You will not rest
Perdition pulls you in
Led blindly to the slaughter
Burning in your sin

There’s a scorching on the floor where your body used to rest
Before the maw split open and swallowed what’s left
And in the fiery depths of oblivion, no one hears you scream
You know deceit hides itself behind charm and a smile
As you fell for me so hard I knew all the while
I would drag you down, and on your flesh I’ll feast

Pre Chorus:

Consorting with the darkness, blinded by your pain
Give to him, body and soul

Chorus:

When you play with fire you are bound to get burnt
The devil is a liar but you heard his words first
The pain you hide is written on your face
With the sounding of the tenth horn a seventh head turns
A shadow steps free of the candles he burns
The forest comes alive and the wolves begin to bay
x2

You will not rest
Perdition pulls you in
Led blindly to the slaughter
Burning in your sin
Looking for the father
You're praying for release
The deal you signed eternal
Forever here with me
