Virgin Whore

Where the strong become weak
Where the rich become poor
Where the proud become meek
And the virgin turns to whore.

Salvation lies in smoke exhaled
Veins pump toxin, it never fails
The temple fallen, the body turned shrine
Every prayer, a torture divine.

Golden liquor, silver spoon
Whatever the poison, guide me to my swoon.

Comes the night, I master the art
To gently cut out my own heart
Welcome to hell, I call it home
Here I reign, here is my throne.

Golden liquor, silver spoon
Whatever the poison, guide me to my swoon.

Where the strong become weak
Where the rich become poor
Where the proud become meek
And the virgin turns to whore.

Whatever the poison …
Whatever the poison …

Sobriety is heresy
Now my flesh, this pale cathedral of lust
Stares back from the mirror - broken on the wall
Is this stranger all that’s left of what once was?
Why have I summoned my own downfall?
Now my eyes, the mirrors of a soul forlorn
Witness how I again fuel my purgatory.

Golden liquor, silver spoon
Whatever the poison, guide me to my swoon.

The ultimate self-predatory
Warfare
Warfare.

Where the strong become weak
Where the rich become poor
Where the proud become meek
And the virgin turns to whore.
