Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stop my flight to fight and die

And take a stand to change my life

So savage with red desperation

[Verse 2]

I clench my hands, you draw your claws

A hidden rage consumes my heart

Fueled by years of wasted time

I close my eyes and tense myself

[Refrain]

And screaming throw myself in fury

Over the edge and into your blood

[Verse 3]

Tear at flesh and rip at skin

And smash at doubt, I have to break you

Fury drives my vicious blows

I see you fall but still I strike you

[Chorus]

Again and again, your body falls

The movement is sharp and clear and pure and gone

I stop and kneel beside you

Drained of everything but pain

[Refrain]

Screaming throw myself in fury

Over the edge and into your blood

Into your blood

[Bridge]

Kiss you once and see you writhe

Hold you close and hear you cry

Kiss your eyes and finish your life

Kiss your eyes, finish your life

[Chorus]

Again and again, your body falls

The movement is sharp and clear and pure and gone

I stop and kneel beside you

Knowing I'll murder you again tonight

[Outro]

(Sharp and clear and pure)

(Sharp and clear and pure)

Knowing I'll murder you again

Knowing I'll murder you again

Knowing I'll murder you again

Knowing I'll murder you again tonight
