Damascus

(albüm: Devour - 2013)

Welcome my friends to the show
Dance and drink if you'd like or sit back and take notes
It's a fine night to test what you know
Who you fear who you love and who you cling to for hope

There's a strange stifling smell in the air
Cigarette smoke, perfume and a tinge of despair
I guess we should all get prepared
Load your guns, take your pills and start saying your prayers

I promised that this wouldn't happen to me
I've got scales grown over my eyes and I can't see

If I falter as this moves along
Don't stop me to ask if there's anything wrong
Your best bet's to just move along
Throw my bones in the river and write me a song
Sing these songs, sing these songs

I promised that this wouldn't happen to me
Now I'm stockpiling bullets and vitamin c
I promised that this wouldn't happen to me
I've got scales grown over my eyes and I can't see

Take the scales off my eyes I'm trying to see
