Abolish the act and reveal your true colors
Gray only fades under the brightest of lights
A foundation of pseudo-sympathy
Won't stop reality from bleeding you dry
The souls that you fool will never make you immortal
Only tangled in your web of lies
A black widow - just a widow with a blackened heart
Messenger of death
Purveyor of demise
There's no condition that you haven't encountered
Yet no deficiencies for you to proclaim
You're never going to be the one to see the light of day become the face of absolution because you're nothing but a fucking parasite
Feeding off the host
You should feel nothing but shame
And I won't feel a thing when I'm six feet above you dancing on your grave
As you unravel, the end will greet you
You'll never see this coming
A fallen prophet, a lost profit and nothing more
Drowning in greed, consumed by scorn
There's one warning and one alone
The evil that binds you is all that you've shown
[And here we see, the sinner has captured the saint.]
