Why is malice on my mind tonight?
[00:04.15]The wine and meat I eat
[00:06.29]Can't touch this hunger that is flaring
[00:10.53]Stale air turns to heat
[00:12.67]I'm fixed upon my knife
[00:18.86]I'm blinded by it's glare
[00:26.15]A candle lights your mockery
[00:29.33]Awakening my wrath
[00:31.55]All common decency is draining from me listening to you laugh
[00:38.34]I've a taste for blood against your casual affairs
[00:51.50]Folly, this is folly for the joy that it brings is fleeting
[01:35.46]Each night outside my window, I see them work
[01:41.07]Observe them stalking prey like predators as they talked and flirt
[01:47.41]They melt your mind like wax to steal their haunting display
[02:00.08]For if you do not buy today, you will return rest assured
[02:06.25]Their longing stares will let go on and on around every bend and curve
[02:12.81]Until your home is frost and your bed's in decay
[02:27.53]Folly, this is folly for the joy that it brings is fleeting
[02:51.41]Heaven owns no place for a man that lets his family slip away
[03:03.77]So these lives that I shall take our torrid criminals you see
[03:16.49]For with one I save a hundred, ten a thousand men from spreading their disease
[03:29.69]Now this handle, justice crushes me
[03:46.89]Crushes me
[04:00.82]Go on and dare to glare at me, but I know you're worse
[04:06.33]For every day you slay the innocent in your thought and word
[04:12.78]And then so humbly return to your grander clichΓ©s
[04:26.05]You're shielded by your forehead, it cloaks your sin from sight
[04:31.44]But somewhere lurking deep within the fog is a stalker in the night
[04:37.70]Who strikes down all who dissent with slander for a blade
[04:51.59]Folly, this is folly for the joy that it brings is fleeting.
[05:35.92]Can you condemn another man's sin without adding to it? x10
[00:04.15]The wine and meat I eat
[00:06.29]Can't touch this hunger that is flaring
[00:10.53]Stale air turns to heat
