lyrics

I turn my face towards the sun
But still it never comes
I’m in the garden of your debt again
So I drink the Devils sweat

Blood to tip
Ease to pain
Short term fix with nothing left to claim
Standing on the grave
Flat footed wicked, wicked ways
Took the lift to the tenth floor
Eyes sit on my face like open soars
Tripping through the door as the demon’s ripping through my core
You want it?

Give me the taste of your blood
Love’s not enough i need something more
Give me the taste of your blood
Love’s not enough i ned something more
Give me the

Such a disgrace the modern form I’ve been brought to my knees once more
It never fades It never fades it never fades
Satan plays his twisted game
You got me shaking through this deserted corridor
Like a chainsaw carving through a hollow bone
As I enter the unknown

Shake of a hand
Smiles all round
With the rust on my heels from unpaid bills
Searching for hope in a cave of lies
Here’s a burn out light
Here’s a meal for one two, three scars deep within my head
Apply, divide, decide
On which path is best
Can I withstand the test
You want it?

Give me the taste of your blood
Love’s not enough i need something more
Give me the taste of your blood
Love’s not enough i ned something more
Give me the

I turn my face towards the sun
But still it never comes
Wilt in an orchard old
Offspring to the breast so cold It never fades It never fades It never fades It never fades
So I drink the Devils sweat
