Poor Chosen Ones Lyrics

Oh, like a snake in the grass

Slithering oh so fast

As you stalk your weary prey

Coiled up like a spring

How your teeth crave for skin

How you wish for them to pay

Leeching off them the blood

The sweat, the tears, their tomorrows

As you grieve for yesterday

Admiring the desire

That you built like a fire

Then turned away

Skin upon burning skin

The storm approaches within

And slowly washes you away

And you know that you have

Lost your way today

In this masquerade

Speak again as someone else is wearing your sweet face

See their shame as your reflection slowly fades to grey

Steal away in darkness just before the break of day

And the night will forget all the suffering

The pain you hide away under the sun

Flow like a venomous spring

Their hearts sink within

You've become their sole obsession

As they sink in your sin

You burn through their skin

They've become your sole possession

Hearts afire with guilt

On the pyre you built

Yet they starve for your affection

Turning passion to stone

And leaving them all alone

With your aggression

Skin upon burning skin

The storm approaches within

And slowly washes you away

And you know that you have

Lost your way today

In this masquerade

Speak again as someone else is wearing your sweet face

See their shame as your reflection slowly fades to grey

Steal away in darkness just before the break of day

And the night will forget all the suffering

The pain you hide away under the sun

Your poor chosen ones

Speak again as someone else is wearing your sweet face

See their shame as your reflection slowly fades to grey

Steal away in darkness just before the break of day

And the night will forget all the suffering

The pain you hide away under the sun

Your poor chosen ones
