down low, words

dedicated myself to a life of sin

a worn cloak of sorrow upon my heavy shoulders

ravens follow my every step

a solemn vow to do no good as long as i am cursed to walk this world of shame

paid back in blood a thousand times over, the heady fumes of lust and rage fill my nose

down low i am headed, ain’t no one damned like me, down low a goin, that’s the end i see

had a demon on both shoulders, as long as i can recall

heard the voices whispers do it, let it all burn down

swam in the river lethe, hoping to forget my evil ways

thirteen crows a circling me, the devil’s on my tail, left a trail of shattered angel wings

my soul is tattered and weary, this path it leads me low, tell satan i’m a comin, he best abdicate my throne

born under a bad sign, suicide and sacrilege

only solace in screams, or drowned in drink, awash in travesty

briar crowns and crimson tears, the spear that pierced the side

forever alone on this trail of misery, aspiring to shed this skin

the dark it sings to me

tell the damned a reckoning is coming, time to take the reins of hell, cause down is where i’m goin, death to any in my way

cause down low i am headed, ain’t no one wicked as me, deep deep down low a goin, that’s the only end i see

that’s the only end for me
