If I'm damned to the pit Then it's an honour, ain't it? To be invited to coffee with the gods You dug your claws into me Now all this ceremony I'd rather that you just give me a firing squad So gentleman My infatuation with disrepair And dilapidation Will turn your heaven into a tomb A sense of severance A past I had but all but buried The mist is clearing and my mind's Like a cemetery A sense of severance From all I had come to cherish My conscience breaking into halves And all hope has perished Now, now, NOW! You speak of destiny claimed That I'm a fool to be shamed That those ascended are bound to dominate The lives of those underneath But they can help me to see That though demonic I'll get off fancy free But gentleman My infatuation with disrepair And dilapidation Will turn your heaven into a tomb A sense of severance A past I had all but buried The mist is clearing and my mind's Like a cemetery A sense of severance From all I had come to cherish My conscience breaking into halves And all hope has perished Now, now, NOW! Now, NOW, NOOOOOW! And those once bound shall fracture We'll turn your heaven into a tomb And though end might make me feel good I'll pay for it in gloom OooH BABY! So gentlemen My infatuation with disrepair And dilapidation Will turn your heaven into a tomb, tomb A sense of severance A past I had all but buried The mist is clearing and my mind's Like a cemetery A sense of severance A past I'd all but buried The mist is clearing and my mind's Like a cemetery The names of thousands dead and gone A thousand memories that I lost Uuuuugh!
