and your hands are icy cold
 under water thru che sound of fear
 comes a drowned and cold reply
 and the mist still hangs around the gallows
 like the anger after the violent rain

 Chorus:
 Die if you will die if you want to
 there's no mistake the ending is clean
 the fire is cold in the ashes of memory
 there's no escape from this hotel

 Like a child who lies to win
 then eats of his own flesh
 holy water can't save you now
 you've hungered far too long
 and the words once spoken
 now ring hollow as the mind that
 shatters your flesh with nails

 Chorus

 I'm not sleepin' I'm alive for you
 you, you'll try again save yourself
 the dawn takes the night, the night takes the sun
 the son takes your sins your sins can be cleansed

 Chorus

 No escape the ending is clean
 it doesn't have to be this way
