Lyrics

You can't be first
But you may be next
The next one to betray
Is chosen to face this test
When you find yourself scorning the trust
And find it simple to lie
Falling easy prey to your lust
Giving treachery a try
You'll soon wish you could die
It can be arranged, ah haha
Go right ahead
Go on and play your games
Your time will come my friend
Your heart will shred your brain
And when it does
You'll know and feel
The wickedness of delusion
And the pain selfish pleasures conceal
Desecrator
Insanity is close at hand, fear and desolation
Violator
Your conscience will command, no, it's not a dream
It's a living nightmare
A moment of lust destroys the bond
Desecrator
Cursed jezebel, it will never end, rot in hell
Desecrator
Violator
Violator
Desecrator
You weren't the first
Won't be the last
The last one to betray
You have failed this test
Like a helpless plaything
A powerless victim of lust
You gambled honor for pleasure
A wager that cost precious trust
Desecrator
Insanity is close at hand, fear and desolation
Violator
Your conscience will command, no, it's not a dream
It's a living nightmare
A moment of lust destroys the bond
Desecrator
Cursed jezebel, it will never end, rot in hell
