In the Beginning Was the End

In a frozen place
Beyond the icy streets
Reflections of a dream
I'm destined to repeat
Bottled up in my soul
A labyrinth of lies
Turning another blind corner
As I pray my soul to keep

Painted on my face
Burned into my mind
You read me like a book
See through my disguise
Apocalypse so dancing
Seduce me like a lover
Tie me to a whipping post
And sail me down the river

In the beginning of the end
Stopped and started with a scream
And the projector stopped rolling
As the film burned on the screen

One day the monster turns
And feeds upon itself
Triggers a vicious cycle
Knocks me from my shelf

He spoke from behind
And cursed me all alone
It's probably alive
And stripped me to the bone

In the beginning of the end
Stopped and started with a scream
And the projector stopped rolling
As the film burned on the screen
