You said you would meet me behind the fair You said you would listen, though you didn't care to hear I wouldn't cheat you out on the truth I would be perfect, bring you the proof All the words I've raised, come a rain I want you I need you, oh, I bleed you And the price you say is fair You said you would rule with an iron fist, keeping your cool, You said you would tell me when I had done well You said you would beat me, put me through hell I could be perfect, you smile with a sneer All the sacrifice, with none brought back to life Voice shrill I warned you, oh I told you That the pain was just too much Under a moon I can see your eyes Reflecting the light, and underlying lies I was a fool, I can see it now The power you'd had was a prophecy of vows And despite your devilish feint, you've brought me up But not the way you'd like I taunt you I feed you, oh, I bleed you And the price is more than fair You said you would meet me in the deep beyond Now that I've set you there I'm not sure I'd want to come My soul is forfeit, yeah, you've seen to that A life lived in torture, a rapture painted all in black All the sacrifice, come together now
