As Surely as I Stand Here
Whet the blade on the stone
Light the fire from the flint
I confess to all of my crimes
Tell me more and I'll repeat your lines
You're not natural, you're not as God made you
Do as I say, do as I do
Before I'm burned up in the flames
I will give you all the Devil's names?
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
The rod to your back, I'll use 'til it's broken
You say you're innocent so you must be guilty
You serve me ill, sir, there's nothing to find
Need some face time, need some quality time
I will cleave the soul from the flesh
I am unmoved as you confess
Look in this glass, we are the same
If we reversed then you'd be in the flames
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Say as I say, do what I do
Please, say as I say, please
Please, say as I say, please
Do as I say
Burn at the stake, die for a break
Lose all I stake, kill all the day
She wore some lipstick, she should've covered it
They dress in dayglo robes in Guantanamo
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Light the fire from the flint
I confess to all of my crimes
Tell me more and I'll repeat your lines
You're not natural, you're not as God made you
Do as I say, do as I do
Before I'm burned up in the flames
I will give you all the Devil's names?
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
The rod to your back, I'll use 'til it's broken
You say you're innocent so you must be guilty
You serve me ill, sir, there's nothing to find
Need some face time, need some quality time
I will cleave the soul from the flesh
I am unmoved as you confess
Look in this glass, we are the same
If we reversed then you'd be in the flames
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Do as I say, do as I do
Say as I say, do what I do
Please, say as I say, please
Please, say as I say, please
Do as I say
Burn at the stake, die for a break
Lose all I stake, kill all the day
She wore some lipstick, she should've covered it
They dress in dayglo robes in Guantanamo
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
Now I know you, I'll follow you
