The Crimson Oath - Ingested

Passive aggressive, I’ll pass on this message

Sown like a seed as I sift through the wreckage

Of lives I’ve left cold with the lies that I’ve told

You can’t even deny that my skills are impressive

I’ll just paint on these faces, and gamble all on aces

Addicted to the danger but I cover all my traces

Never get caught, 'cause the cost is the balance

Cheque signed in blood in payment for my talents

I’m the killer of your dreams, assassin of your heart

There is romance in the air when I tear them apart

One by one, limb from limb, make a crown from their bones

So I look like a king when I sit on my throne

The blood of the covenant

Is thicker than the waters of the womb

The crimson oath

Break it, forever atone

Beg for mercy from the kings

As we sit on our thrones

Orchestrate and manipulate, that’s key to my method

If I see something I want, best believe me I’ll get it

I’ll get inside, infiltrate, like the horse and the Trojans

I’m like Cupid with the bow, but my arrow’s poisoned

This is, the principle not just for the thrill

You’ll be the first one that I catch but you’re the last one I’ll kill

I’ve got twenty-two names and I will get every one

I will send a message so you know what I’ve done

What I’ve done

Twenty-two names and I will get every one

You made a deal with the Devil now I own your soul, you cannot replace me,

I broke the mold

All the lies, the deceit, fuck the truths that I’ve told

Who needs a silver tongue, when I’ve got gold

I broke the mold

Who needs a silver tongue, when I’ve got gold

One more prayer, one more penance

I am game for the lashes

What we lose in the fire, we find in the lashes
