[VERSE]

i'm underneath his bed
hiding in the shadows
i'm the whisper in his head
he won't forget
when i creep into the corner
and i make him pray for death

when he falls asleep
i like to get a look at him
and watch him when he dreams
he looks so sweet
perfect little mouth
with his perfect little screams

[BRIDGE]

what is going on
is there something wrong with me
when he wakes up in the morning
he won't know that it was me

[CHORUS]

he's got a knife in his bed
in the shape of my heart
when he founds out what i am
he's gonna rip me all apart
and he'll like it when i scream
and i'll keep begging him to stay
and when he puts me in a box
i'll wish he killed me all the way

[VERSE]

i'm just a monster
and he's an angel with a gun
i'm just another soul that haunts him
it's a problem
i'm a nightmare, i'm a demon
but for some reason i want him

maybe i'll be selfish
if i show him what he wants
maybe he'll let me have my way
he feels like heaven
when i tell him i'm a sinner
he still holds me like a saint

[BRIDGE]

was it a dream?
was i seeing things?
i still see that goddamn knife on his pillow
was it a dream? please don't let it be
but if it's a dream, don' wake me up
please

[CHORUS]

he's got a knife in his bed
in the shape of my heart
when he founds out what i am
he's gonna rip me all apart
and he'll like it when i scream
and i'll keep begging him to stay
and when he puts me in a box
i'll wish he killed me all the way

he's got a knife in his bed
in the shape of my heart
when he founds out what i am
he's gonna rip me all apart
and he'll like it when i scream
and i'll keep begging him to stay
and when he puts me in a box
i'll wish he killed me all the way

[VERSE]

i am the cool breeze in his stairwell
i'm the shiver up his spine
i'm the one who's meant to kill him
that's my fucking job, he's mine

but his neck is wrapped in silver
he's got iron in his eyes
his doors are lined with salt
meant to keep me inside
he's gonna kill me
he knows what i am
he has the knife
and i can't deny him

[CHORUS]

he's got a knife in his bed
in the shape of my heart
when he founds out what i am
he's gonna rip me all apart
and he'll like it when i scream
and i'll keep begging him to stay
and when he puts me in a box
i'll wish he killed me all the way

(he's got a knife in his bed)

he's got a knife in his bed

i'll wish he killed me all the way

SLEEP PARALYSIS

SLEEP PARALYSIS (sped up)

vanity (is a vice)

(an angel of heaven found me in the dark
took me in its arms)

an angel of heaven looked at me with black eyes
said "be not afraid" and pulled me into the light
and to my lips was pressed a goblet of gold
the fountain of youth so i shall never grow old
surrounded by legions i was greeted with song
heavenly hosts said they'd been waiting too long
one by one, their hands discovered my flesh
filled with their praises, i gave into the rest

ooo, take me away
take me away

i woke from a slumber with a chain on my wrist
a light in my eyes, coming down from the bliss
my body was open, torn apart with a saw
my blood on their hands, but i felt nothing at all
looking down at me was an angel of god
holding me tenderly and humming a song
and something inside of me was starting to wane
it placed a hand on my eyes and it all faded away

ooo, take me away
take me away

i felt heaven that day
in the strangest of places
as they took me away from the cold
and then they pulled me apart
but i'm so close to the stars
and when they hold me in their wings i am home
(x2)

an angel of heaven found me in te dark
took me in its arms
and took me away

but i'm so close to the stars
and when they hold me in their wings i am home
(x2)

heavenly hosts

holy child
free of sin and free of doubt
i am the picture
of obedience and purity
i won't open my eyes
don't want to see the way they dance
oh, they are sinners
and i will never part my lips
to question you

even when your righteous blade
cuts me into two
i dare not falter
oh i will not betray you

fall on my knees
and feel how they bleed

heaven is gone, there is nowhere to run
don't let them lie to you
it's a hundred to one, there's a hole in the sun
and there's poison in the fruit
desecration
desecration
desecration
desecrate me, i've got nothing to lose

it's getting warm
all these bodies, i'm surrounded
i can't take it
what temptation, as i lie here
i open my eyes
to see the lights, all the colors
all the beauty
that i never would've seen without this doubt

oh, and how it feels so sweet
the tasting of the fruit
but oh, how frightening
to see just what you do
when our eyes are closed

fall on your knees
pray that i won't see

heaven is gone, there is nowhere to run
don't let them lie to you
it's a hundred to one, there's a hole in the sun
and there's poison in the fruit
desecration
desecration
desecration
desecrate me, i've got nothing to lose

o lord, don't forgive me, o lord
o lord, don't take my freedom from me
o lord, i see all you've hidden from me
hell will be waiting

heaven is gone, there is nowhere to run
don't let them lie to you
(oh, lord)
it's a hundred to one, there's a hole in the sun
and there's poison in the fruit
desecration
desecration
desecration
desecrate me, i've got nothing to lose

heaven is gone, there is nowhere to run
don't let them lie to you
it's a hundred to one, there's a hole in the sun
and there's poison in the fruit
desecration
desecration
desecration
desecrate me, i've got nothing to lose

CHAPEL of DESECRATION

BAPTISM (instrumental)

"judas," he said to me
"let go of my hand and set me free"
he said, "oh, judas, it's all i need
oh, judas, do it for me, please"
and i said

say it one more time
i will stay here by your side
i have everything i want tonight
keep me in your heart
keep my body in your arms
i won't ever be the one to say goodbye

"judas," he said to me
"if not for me, do it for humanity"
he said, "oh, judas, why can't you see
you'll save their souls for eternity"
and i said,

i would let them all burn for you
give up my salvation,
if it means just one more moment
oh, please

give me one more try
i don't want to win this fight
i'll do anything you want tonight 
take me as i am
and take everything i have
but i don't ever wanna hear your goodbye 
goodbye

"this is how it ends,
this is god's most holy plan
i will see you once again,
dear, judas"

don't make me do this
don't leave me here alone
i'm begging you, lord
i can't let you go

"many have betrayed me, judas
and next, it will be you
it won't hurt so much, dear judas
because i know your love is true"

he kissed me once, and let me go
he left me there, all alone
how cruel a fate he'd given me
the only love i'll ever need is gone
(he's gone)
(he's gone)

tell me one more lie
tell me everything is fine
tell me i am not the one tonight
tell me how to feel
tell me none of this is real
tell me this is not our last goodbye 

goodbye
goodbye
give me one more kiss goodnight
oh, oh, goodnight
is it i?
is it i?
is it i?

THE TALE of the BETRAYER

 don't know where i belong
but where you are is not where i'm going
i don't want this anymore
take my silver, take my soul
covered in the red of my wrongs
i still taste it on my tongue
salty cheeks and holy blood
how i wish that i was not the one

but who am i to turn away
from my heaven-sent sacred fate?
(please just let me rest)

lord, i hope you forgive me
i've nothing left to lose
and this is all i was meant to be
so it's time i tied the noose

(then judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders; saying, i have sinned in that i have betrayed the innocent blood. and they said, what is that to us? see thou to that. and he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.)

lord, if you still hear me
(lord, if you still hear my prayer)
turn your eyes from this
i will never meet you there
so please just let me rest

so who am i now?
just a sinner again?
even in death?
is that all it meant?
will their salvation come
now that i am dead?
is this what you wanted, lord?
is that all i am?
a part of a plan?
i'm only a man
but now i shall live
painted in red
a halo of black
angel of traitors
the patron saint of sin

lord, i hope you forgive me
i've nothing left to lose
and this is all i was meant to be
so it's time i tied the noose

lord, if you still hear me
(lord, if you still hear my prayer)
turn your eyes from this
i will never meet you there
so please just let me rest
(please just let me rest)

THEY WATCH ME FROM ABOVE
