From the recording Angels & Demons
Lyrics
Silence.
One shot.
The gate breaks open.
Her skin writes poison in my head
A red lit hymn I cannot shed
I taste the iron on my tongue
And every vile thought comes undone
I walk the hall with dirty hands
I bite the chains, I break the bands
Her shadow crawls across my chest
And feeds the beast I can’t arrest
I feel it tighten
I feel it burn
One more sin
And I won’t turn
My name goes under
My soul in flame
I want the fall
I call her name
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
Sex and disease
Pull me down
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
I drown in need
I can’t get out
(Devil’s playground)
I curse the dawn that shows my face
It finds the marks I can’t erase
I kiss the blade, I feed the lie
I watch the weak ones pass me by
Her lips are plague, her touch is fire
My pulse gets meaner with desire
I wear the sin like sacred chain
And march through shame toward more pain
I feel it tighten
I feel it burn
One more sin
And I won’t turn
My name goes under
My soul in flame
I want the fall
I call her name
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
Sex and disease
Pull me down
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
I drown in need
I can’t get out
(Devil’s playground)
I saw the corpse of mercy rot
Inside the heat that I sought
Fear in my throat
Anger in my veins
Passion and agony
Chain after chain
I am the sermon
I am the stain
I kneel to nothing
I feed the pain
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
Sex and disease
Pull me down
Devil’s playground
Devil’s playground
I drown in need
I can’t get out
(Devil’s playground)
Cannon fire.
Guitars race.
The night eats the last breath.
