lyrics

I still got the knife
You throw me from behind.
I still got the hope
I will throw it back.
When you least expect it, it will cut your flesh,
Tear your hopes in half...
You better bear it in mind.

My wounds are cut so deep, I don't know if that's morphine I need,
But you'll need plenty when I wreck your head, if you ever make it.
I never saw your game, before you played me for a fool,
But you won't see me coming, and you soon will be crawling, if you ever make it.

You better, better bear it in mind,
I won't forget, I'll get to you.

I might have been quite down, even now I'm not sure I'm better,
But you'll never get up when I break you down, if you ever make it.
I'm still a bit shaken, it turned my head and my stomach,
But I might get both of those, and with the knife down your throat, we'll see if you make it.

There's no word to describe all the hurt I will do,
When you'll cry, and you'll beg for the pain you'll endure.
Broken nose, broken legs, I'll let you no bones left,
You'll be crushed, you'll be torned, you will wait for your death.
You'll be sad, I'll be glad and a glorious night,
Will glow over your pride, like the stars in my eyes.
I will stare and rejoy by the sound of despair,
I will drain all your veins, I will drive you insane.
And if somebody else is messing with your mind,
I will praise 'em to be sadistic and unkind.
I only wish you some tragic end all alone,
I will haunt you 'till then, I won't stop 'till you're gone.
