All along the water's edge

The ripples curl and bend

As the moon bleeds

"Satire's no match for a matter of fact." (That's blasphemy)

There's got to be another way



I wrote it down in blood

"Never forget my love"

Faith as endearing as the other side



Before nightfall cast a broken shadow much

Too tall "Look, it's just me"

Graveyard pulls apart the earth revealing

All the broken hearts

I'm not the only one who bleeds



I Wrote it down in blood

Never forget my love

Faith as endearing as the other side 

I'm on this freight train with creeping suspicion, 

hell to pay

(glassy eyeballs feeling red, painful voices in your head)



And he walked to the stone to engrave

His claim of a thousand souls filled

With shame reaching to the highest

Notch at the top

With the blood of his wisdom he began

To call on the names of

The vain and the week willed alike

"I will have you"

Anoint you wrap you in lies, to

Devour you all in the blink of an eye in the presence

Of his majesty

The rise and fall of the hands that begat the

Writing on the wall dripping with

Blood "never forget my love"



It's criminal, more than you know

The loss in your eyes

It's critical

It's critical now

The look in my eye



I have damned myself

To hear this out

One more time around

I have damned myself

To hear this out

One more time



I wrote it down in blood

Never forget my love 

Faith as endearing as the other side 

I'm on this freight train with derailed suspicions 

Writing it all down in blood
