Don't let go, see how far it takes you. Let it grow, will the snake inside come and save you? Cannons roar while the dukes are sipping brandy. Curse them all, no other way but heavy handed. Blood for blood and eye for eye, The whole world painted red and black. Hold that grudge and grind that axe, Until it's all stained ruby and black. Blood for blood and eye for eye, The whole world painted red and black. Hold that grudge and grind that axe, Until it's all stained ruby and black. Look away, kiss the feet of a plastic messiah. Fill the graves, wave to your neighbour through barbed wire. Promised lands, but the promises all broken. Understand, no turning back once the wounds are opened Blood for blood and eye for eye, The whole world painted red and black. Hold that grudge and grind that axe, Until it's all stained ruby and black. Blood for blood and eye for eye, The whole world painted red and black. Hold that grudge and grind that axe, Until it's all stained ruby and black.

Antichrist 02:38
Lord deceiver, drinking from your skull. He'll keep you hungry, keep you broke and dull. The talking heads, they babble, blackened tongues. Sits in his tower, skin off, fallen one. Feasts with vultures, herding swine. Smell the sulfur, sinkhole eyes. Can't you see? He's the Antichrist. Blind believers, are you happy now? You made the devil mayor of this town. A crimson moon bleeding overhead. The rats and ravens swarm to eat the dead. Feasts with vultures, herding swine. Smell the sulfur, sinkhole eyes. Can't you see? He's the Antichrist.

Poseidon bless these planks of wood, Guide us over the waves. Curse the sirens calling out, Sending sailors to their graves. I vow to build you temples, I only ask that we make it back safe. Please get me home safe and dry, King of the deep. Zeus' wrath upon us, The storm has taken half my men. Will I ever see my love, Will I hold her close again? Take our gold, our wine and haul, I only ask that we make it back safe. Please get me home safe and dry, King of the deep.

I know it's been done to death. But these words just form in my head. Even as the horsemen draw near. I have to tell you, my dear. I love you, I love you, yes I do. I want you, I want you, yes I do. I need you, I need you, yes I do. I said I love you, I love you, yes I do. Often I think about death. But while I'm here take my breath. Coloured with sweet, purple words. Something sincere, like a bird. I love you, I love you, yes I do. I want you, I want you, yes I do. I need you, I need you, yes I do. I said I love you, I love you, yes I do. I know it's been sung to death. But it's doing laps in my chest. Before my bucket is kicked. I'll let it spill from my lips. I love you, I love you, yes I do. I want you, I want you, yes I do. I need you, I need you, yes I do. I said I love you, I love you, yes I do.

I hate you, you hate me, it's hard work. I'm not rich, you want kids, my head hurts. You tell lies, so do I, we're melting. I'm still trying but you're just trying to kill me. Who shot first? I don't know, it's kinda hazy. The aliens surveilling us must think we're crazy. I admit, 40%, I'm guilty. I'm done trying, yet you're still trying to kill me.
