Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My bed is now a cylinder of steel
Cold and hard and shiny, to match the way I feel
The dust in here is like a burning wind
Black as coal and thunder, dark as all my sins
[Verse 2]
I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot
[Verse 3]
You were there to see me beg and kneel
What kind of man would ask me, then, if he could make a deal?
When lovers of the future read these lines
A sound of steel and thunder will echo in their minds
[Verse 4]
I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot
I took it for a long, long time, and a woman can take a lot
Two can be undone by three, but it only takes one shot
[Verse 5]
Ashes become speed and turn to blood
It's strange to see how sharp and clean, the things that come from love
