lyrics

DEMONS & DOLLS
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON

Invite your fashion in, Diamond eyes of gold,
Just like suicide kings, you're a face smiling at me cold.
So crown the skin in black, rotted lies in deepened holes.
Once called you a friend, now you slither away slow.

All damn the snake, you were all along,
All the devils in hell, just played along,
All the dolls of bedlam, just hummed along,
All roads to hell, are paved in fortunes gone.

Hiding under a scheme,
So sick it was dope,
Now dead on the scene,
Your plan turned to a joke.
Now useless and adored,
my rising anger explodes,
beneath a heel of arrows,
The wound rots unable to close.

Underneath the flesh where the seeker sleeps,
a scar with viper eyes and a fossil just for me,
I lay between God and the memories scream,
Regain consciousness slow as poison bleeds.
All damn the snake,
All damn the snake

Our Evil Is Good, Our Evil Is Strong
