Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 the scorpion [Verse 3] 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 feel is unsurpassed I'm not a lowly scorpion I'm so much worse, I'm the fall of man [Outro] "Fighting broke out overnight between rival factions along the Israeli/Syrian border.
