lyrics

Ripping and tearing
Pushing and pulling
Gripping at these immortal chains
Hating and waiting
Crying and dying
Rip away these fantasies

I cannot die anymore
I’ve already been killed
Nothing left to be filled
My savior of thorns
To you I pray
I am your receiver of punishment
Oh won't you show me that you care

I've heard these words
All before
Always thought
That there'd be more
I have faced my hell
And seen the flames
Surrounding my angel
I've heard these words
All before
And feel this pain
Evermore
Look into your eyes
And now I see
My Angel is a Demon

Famine to starving
Blaming to caring
On the path to genocide
Accusing to horrify
All this in you confide
Instigate with the spark of a flame

I cannot die anymore
I’ve already been killed
Nothing left to be filled
My savior of thorns
To you I pray
I am your receiver of punishment
Oh won't you show me that you care

I've heard these words
All before
Always thought
That there'd be more
I have faced my hell
And seen the flames
Surrounding my angel
I've heard these words
All before
And feel this pain
Evermore
Look into your eyes
And now I see
My Angel is a Demon

Back before all the lies
And masks were worn to disguise
Even then you were a thorn in my side
Gouging these ruined eyes
In endless sacrifice
My protector is my destroyer

I cannot die anymore
I’ve already been killed
Nothing left to be filled
My savior of thorns
To you I pray
I am your receiver of punishment
Oh won't you show me that you care

I've heard these words
All before
Always thought
That there'd be more
I have faced my hell
And seen the flames
Surrounding my angel
I've heard these words
All before
And feel this pain
Evermore
Look into your eyes
And now I see
My Angel is a Demon
