Lyrics:

To understand the killer
I must become the killer.
And I don't need this violence anymore,
But now I've tasted hatred I want more.

To understand the killer
I must become the killer.
And I don't need this violence anymore,
But now I've tasted hatred I want more.

The velvet cell within men
Gloriously rusted masks
Grey death heart crocuses.
The velvet cell.

And I had always thought
The desire to kill was a disease you caught.
But it's dormant in the hearts of everyone,
Waiting for a spark, an emotion.

The velvet cell within men
Gloriously rusted masks
Grey death heart crocuses.
The velvet cell.
