Raped by the needle, you rust in vain Straight into the blood for pleasure pain Shaken by the thoughts of paranoia Eyes roll back as you succumb to the void Spasm body from the sickness within Mortal pays the price for the needle sin God in his own mind, in reality nothing Downfall of mankind - you struggle - you're weakening Elemental decay I've got to escape Destroy then create Before it's too late Mind bent, slave to the industry You'll win no battles by claiming defeat Suppressed by desire - controlled by the times Art through brutality, we're prophets of crime Elemental decay I've got to escape Destroy then create Before it's too late Benign to be known We take this fix alone Take my mortal flesh Take my mortal soul Through true love True hatred is shone Take my mortal flesh Take my mortal soul Damage seems null, but collective it's fatal Dwindling life - but clinging and stable Addicted, dependant - tagged and labeled You weakened - you fell - no longer a sentinel Come down from your throne, your reasoning's blind Open your eyes to hypodermic sight Counter-clockwise culture's holy cloth in disguise Confess the hideaways - intravenous parasites Inject and receive, but they never give They made life a joke no one wants to live With a string of beads and a crucifix How'd ya like being that hippie on a stick? Elemental decay I've got to escape Destroy then create Before it's too late Benign to be known We take this fix alone Take my mortal flesh Take my mortal soul Through true love True hatred is shone Take my mortal flesh Take my mortal soul
