Lyrics

[Verse 1] My body is a temple For the gods of other men Wielded as a weapon by foes I swore i'd never be again [Verse 2] I feel the iron on the back of my neck And i know it's gonna begin I have no windows, i have no doors But something's coming in [Verse 3] And if we are all animals This is another kind of beast This soft body is donned like a mask By a predator ready to feast [Verse 4] Oh, maybe there's a cure for this Maybe i oughta call a priest What used to be sacred ground Has been otherwise leased [Verse 5] I recall sort of dimly Something 'bout the wages of sin But what if death has already come And it's crawling beneath my skin [Verse 6] There is a power i don't want to have When the devil's in my bones When all i feel's my two small feet Pounding their way right home [Instrumental Break] [Verse 7] I can feel their desires Taking over who i am Tied to the pyre as the flame burns high Around a sacrificial lamb [Verse 8] I have heard there is joy to be found In becoming someone new But that must not apply To someone becoming you [Verse 9] I don't wanna be just like them Oh, but i can't go on Why fear fire when i can't lose What's already gone
