Release (Don't Leave Me Here)

Cheshire you, darken my eyes
Glittering crescent, you fade from the sky
Disciples come crawling, down on their knees
The lepers are calling, come taste my disease
Don't leave me here

Nailed to the crosses, but will you untie
Courting the losses drowned by your lies
Draining the chalice, blood on your lips
Tracing the sorrow with your fingertips
Don't leave me here

The halo sits crooked, the bright ring of gold
Slave to the master, caught, bought and sold
Guillotine falling, bending towards me
Kissing pandora 'til the demons fly free
Don't leave me here

Love, the sacrament, steel anointment
Unlock the box, release from this torment
Sex, your parliament, devil's innocent
Take off this crown, release me from this torment
Rats in the cellar, bones line the walls
The idol you are is starting to fall
Collection of hearts locked in that room
Set on a shelf like dirt on my tomb
Don't leave me here
