The Scorpion

My life is everything That feeds my thirst that causes sin My wants are all I care No shame and guilt, there's nothing there Look deep into my face I sell deceit without a trace Fear not what I can do Unless you want it done to you, oh oh! As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh My self I'm centered in There's nothing else, there's never been And I dream, to be left alone With the sadness, the madness of my own Look deep into my soul It's black as coal like a bullet hole Fear not, get off your knees There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh! As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh As I climb onto your back, I promise not to sting I tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in 'Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, ya! My lies, to reach the shore I aggrandize and nothing more My hopes, to steal away All that you love, I'll soon betray Look deep into my past The pain I deal is unsurpassed I'm not a lowly scorpion I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man --- The Scorpion - Megadeth
