Black Rot

(album: Trinity - 2022)

I lost my mind when my body dropped
As blood soaked through my clothes, as I was left to rot
There were no flowers for me
No friends or family, just empty company
I had a love, and he broke my heart
Tore it open with a knife and cried
'Til the convulsions stopped

Watch me bleed for those I love
I'll sleep in the grave I made
I wait for you to join me here, my love
It's all in the way you said my name
And the hate you gave up for...

I should have known my fate was predetermined
I fell in love with the devil and I was hunted like vermin
The love we had, and although it killed me
I would do all again if I could set him free

You don't know shit about sacrifice
I bled for everyone I loved

Watch me bleed for those I love
I'll sleep in the grave I made
I wait for you to join me here, my love
It's all in the way you said my name
And the hate you gave up for me

"I know we're on different paths, but we'll come back together in the end
I'll wait for you, my dear; but I guess the hurt outweighed the love I gave
But you don't know how far I've come."

(Tell 'em)
I tried to speak love, but lost the words
My lungs full of blood, and a knife in my throat
When I formed the words I choked
(You were...)
Reborn from dirt, pulled from the ash
With more heart than before, for those I adored
You thought when it rained, it poured?
(Well...)

Put the barrel between your fucking teeth and bleed
I'll show you true hate and what it really means
I'm glad I didn't listen when they told me all to stay away
'Cause when you're sad, I'm happy in the pouring rain
I'm sick of all the tropes where all the villains die in the end
We should be reigning supreme
What's a court without their queen?
Get on your knees for the Queen of Misanthropy

(We all die in the end, I'd die again for you)

This is my reign, yeah this is my reign (I'd die again for you)
Get on your knees for the Queen of Misanthropy
I'll wait for you, my king, in the black rot

Watch me bleed for those I love
Watch me bleed for those I love

Watch me bleed for those I love
