lyrics

Out of the blue he comes,
Wicked lust flashed in his eyes,
Marking the path he takes,
A trail of blood behind his bleak disguise.

Not a word he says to me,
Not a word i can say to him.

Takes my body, takes my mind,
And takes me under his control,
The beast inside me finds a victim,
Innocent to which to give its soul.

Not way to stop his path,
As i hear his wicked laugh,
Not a way to tame the beast inside of me.

The reptile is in me now,
The reptile, black as ice,
The reptile in me now,
The reptile black as night.

Takes the poor girl for a ride,
To places she has never seen before,
Driving in circles, moving too quickly,
Moving his hand on her she pounds on the door.

Making sure she cannot leave,
A lonely claw making her bleed,
Making me scream as I watch it all in me.

And I’m sorry to have wasted your time,
I can’t turn ashes into wine,
Though your past lead me to you,
It seems your past won’t let you through.

I would help you build,
An empire of glass and steel,
I will watch those still,
As before you I would kneel.

To Dust I’ll return,
And leave you on your way,
But it’s not my day,
But it’s not my day.

And I will burn,
And I will burn,
To dust I’ll return.
