Lyrics for Romanticide

God love and rest my soul With this sun down, never ending The feeling is gone, yet you ain't gonna see me fail I am the decadence of your world I am an eider covered in oil Happy hunting, you double-faced carnivore Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high The music is dead, the amen is said The kiss of faith is what I beg A loving heart and soul for sale Tell me why No heart to cry Hang me high Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Ode of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part See me ruined by my own creations Leave me be And cease to tell me how to feel To grieve, to shield myself from evil Leave me be Ode of lies is killing me Romanticide Till love do me part Dead Boy's alive but without sense I need a near-death experience Heart once bold Now turned to stone Perfection, my messenger from Hell Wine turns to water Campfires freeze Love letters burn Romance is lost Lord, let me be wrong in this pain Temporary pain, eternal shame To take part in this Devil's chess game Spit on me, let me go, get rid of me And try to survive your stupidity
