Beating On Death's Door

She's a slack one, born of greed Speaking endless words, long and empty A beggar who still wants to choose A dethroned queen still demands her due If you want something for nothing you take what you get A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for There's blood stain on the ceiling But you're the only duck in the shooting gallery Trying to look out a bricked-in window Your destiny lies in the alley below Trying to see yourself in a shattered mirror When all else fails, she told you with broken arms There's poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free A quick fix for all that you think that you need. Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for The patron saint of fools answers all your request She's all yours now, so deal with it There's no shoulder left to cry wolf on You're tied in knots that can't be undone No more warnings will fall on deaf ears You lied too many times now no one cares No one cares An empty promise with a heart of tin Her crooked smile beguiles and it draws you within The hope for something more, all that you wish for A kick to the head and a boot to the door Chasing a dragon in a ladies clothes A paper trail ends in choking smoke But you know that you lit the match yourself Play the burning cards you dealt Scream for salvation, beating on death's door But just be careful what you wish for The patron saint of fools answers all your request She's all yours now, so deal with it Broken --- Beating on Death's Door - Lamb of God
