Animal Magnetism

Creator's Regret

Chains are screaming in the silence
Twisted prayers drip down in violence
Crucifix hangs from a rusted chain
And the sky spits blood like it’s gone insane

(Who are you, with that serpent smile?)
You sold your faith for a taste of fire
(Who are you, in that shadowed trial?)
Just another ghost on the funeral pyre

Demons dance in the darkness!
Callin’ out your name! Again! Again!
Demons dance in the darkness!
Singin’ you to shame! Again! Again!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
I’LL SMILE… AS I BURN IN YOUR LIGHT!

You made a bed with holy lies
Swore you’d change—but the devil’s wise
In the mirror, no soul remains
Just a cracked-eyed mask in a world of chains

(Where were you when the fire came down?)
(When the angels choked and the saints all drowned?)
(Where’s your god when your hands are tied?)
(You kissed the flame… and you never cried)

Demons dance in the darkness!
Callin’ out your name! Again! Again!
Demons dance in the darkness!
Drippin’ with your blame! Again! Again!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
I’LL LAUGH… AS I DROWN IN THE NIGHT!

“You lit the match…
You watched the world go blind…
But there’s no escape now…
No prayer, no time…
So curse me, baby…
CURSE ME… ONE… MORE… TIME.”


Demons dance in the darkness!
Callin’ out your name! Again! Again!
Demons howl in the blackness!
Scratchin’ at your flame! Again! Again!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
CURSE ME! ONE MORE TIME!
I’LL LIVE… AS I DIE IN YOUR CRIME!
