Slaying The Dreamer (Live)

[Live at Summer Breeze 2002]

I'm a priest for the poorest sacrifice
I'm but a raft in a sea of sorrow, sorrow and greed
You bathed in my wine
Drank from my cup, mocked my rhyme
Your slit tongues licked my aching wounds.

Put a stake! Through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake! For your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer.

Swansong for the Wish of Night
God it hurts, give a name to the pain
Our primrose path to hell is growing weed.

Put a stake! Through my heart
And drag me into sunlight
So awake! For your greed
As you're slaying the dreamer.

Blame me, it's me
Coward, a good-for-nothing scapegoat
Dumb kid, living a dream
Romantic only on paper.

Tell me why! You took all that was mine
Stay as you lay - don't lead me astray! [x2]

Wake up! Mow the weed
You'd be nothing without me
Take my life if you have heart, heart to die.

You bastards tainted my tool
Raped my words, played me a fool
Gather your precious glitter and leave me be
The Great Ones are all dead
And I'm tired, too
I, truly, hate, you, all!
