lyrics

Death On A Platter

I was
A fool
For years
And years
Or at least
Fatally naive
To the core

You staggered
While I fell
Contorting like
A mime
A wry comic
From the
Pits of hell

Evil schemes
Damn the
Consequences
Launch
The torpedoes
No matter who
Gets hurt

It was a blast
Now it's like
Death on a platter
You served it
Up thick
Now stripped
Bare bones
Rattle and clatter

It was a blast
Now it's like
Death on a platter
You served it
Up thick
Now stripped
Bare bones
Rattle and clatter

When I was
So sad
You were
Secretly
So glad

When I was
So sad
You were
Secretly
So glad, so glad

I was a lamb
Sacrificial
Before the inevitable
And awful
Bloody
Slaughter

You were
So cool
Heart like an
Ice block
Seizing all
Control
Until it's
Razed to the ground
And in tatters

It was a blast
Now it's like
Death on a platter
You served it
Up thick
Now stripped bones
Rattle and clatter

It was a blast
Now it's like
Death on a platter
You served it
Up thick
Now stripped
Bare bones
Rattle and clatter

I was
A fool
For years
And years
Or at least
Fatally naive
To the core

You staggered
While I fell
Contorting like
A mime
A wry comic
From the
Pits of hell

I was
A fool
For years
And years
Or at least
Fatally naive
To the core

You staggered
While I fell
Contorting like
A mime
A wry comic
From the
Pits of hell
Wry comic
From the
Pits of hell
