Lyrics
Strike up a deal take some action
Fulfill the plan make it happen
You know where you belong
You know what is going on
It?s your first loss & your last win
You are not ready
Bound here with chains to the memory
You?re messing with something deadly
Strike at the head of the dragon
Lucifer quickly gains traction
He comes to you in dreams
He can hear you moan & scream
Tears that produce satisfaction
You are not ready
Bound here with chains to the memory
You?re messing with something deadly
Faces altered by refraction
A faceless hangman?s distraction
They reject gifts God bestows
They volunteer for the gallows
I witness victim reaction
You are not ready
Bound here with chains to the memory
You?re messing with something deadly
