Virgin Steele - Self Crucifixion lyrics

[Music and lyrics: De Feis] I'm not sleepin' the walls are down and your hands are icy cold under water thru che sound of fear comes a drowned and cold reply and the mist still hangs around the gallows like the anger after the violent rain [Chorus:] Die if you will die if you want to there's no mistake the ending is clean the fire is cold in the ashes of memory there's no escape from this hotel Like a child who lies to win then eats of his own flesh holy water can't save you now you've hungered far too long and the words once spoken now ring hollow as the mind that shatters your flesh with nails [Chorus] I'm not sleepin' I'm alive for you you, you'll try again save yourself the dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun the son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed [Chorus] No escape the ending is clean it doesn't have to be this way
