Piss & Wine

You martyr, you slave

You nail yourself to your fucking cross

You believe yourself to be saved

I’ll crush your ego

I’ll burn down all you believe

I’ll take your pretty horses

I’ll plant the desperate seed

You’re nothing

You’re drenched in piss and wine

Masked by your own contempt

You swim like the swine

Bleeder, you fool, you’re blind

Ignorant to your own demise

You take another step and sink into the mire

Drown in the suffocation

Through your words that grasp your throat

Seek the deep but bleed to me

And reap all that you sow

Teach me your downfalls

Teach me all you could never embrace

Teach me to struggle without purpose

Teach me to worship and praise

Teach me to lie finally with a straight face
