The Scorpion
My life, is everything
That feeds my thirst, that causes sin
My wants, are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep, into my face
I sell deceit, without a trace
Fear not, what I can do
Unless you, want it done to you
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I, treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know, that I am a scorpion, oh!
My self, I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep, into my soul
It's black as coal, like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh!
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I, treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know, that I am a scorpion, oh!
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
I will, treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
'Cause you knew all along, I am a scorpion, ya!
My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize, and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you love, I'll soon betray
Look deep, into my past
The pain I deal, is unsurpassed
I'm not, a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man
Fighting broke out overnight between rival factions along the Israeli-Syrian border
Initial reports claimed Israeli jet fighters bombed the guerrilla base killing at least 49 soldiers and 13 civilians...
A 49 year old unidentified man went berserk last night opening fire with a 12-gauge shotgun in a crowded downtown restaurant
14 people are dead including 3 children...
A crackdown on laboratory experiments on animals is expected to become law today
Animal rights activists have been pushing for the bill for 9 years and have taken part in mass demonstrations throughout the nation...
Police have smashed a multi million dollar drug smuggling ring
22 pounds of heroin was seized along with a small amount of cocaine, marijuana and hashish
25 people have been arrested and face charges ranging from smuggling to possession for the purpose of trafficking
That feeds my thirst, that causes sin
My wants, are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep, into my face
I sell deceit, without a trace
Fear not, what I can do
Unless you, want it done to you
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will, tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
