Communion

Otep · The Ascension [2007]

I sold my soul

So long ago

And now I'm alone

Here in the palace

Of madness and sadness

And then she said

To the ghosts in her head

I will find the edge

I will force my fingers in

I will sip from the slit

I will rip you to shreds

I will rip you to shreds



(chorus)

Rape the none

Kill the saints

Wear their skins



There is no

Way to escape



And I know

The road of truth is lined

With crucified criminals

And suicides

So maybe I'll just cut my throat

Maybe I'll make you smile as I choke

Hybrid creature of decay

There is no possible

Way you'll escape



(chorus)

Rape the none

Kill the saints

Wear their skins



There is no

Way to escape



Yesterday upon the stair

I met a man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man would go away

I wish that man would go



Shadow man standing in my room

Smearing his conspiracies for me to consume

Shadow man has a plan just wait and see

You'll all be sorry for fucking with me



Come out and play



Shadow man, shadow man

Please go away

I really don't feel like playing today

Go away

I'm not ignoring you

I'm just plotting your doom

In a world that's ready to drown

Don't stop we have you now.



(chorus)

Rape the none

Kill the saints

Wear their skins



There is no

Way you'll escape
