Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the world has turned its back
When the days have turned pitch black
When the fear abducts your tongue
When the fire's dead and gone
[Verse 2]
So, what now?
Where go I?
[Verse 3]
When you think it's all said and done
When you are the ostracized
Selfish ridden dead goodbyes
Twisting on the tourniquet
When the pieces never fit
[Verse 4]
So, what now?
Where go I?
[Verse 5]
When you think it's all said and done
[Verse 6]
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
[Verse 7]
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons
[Verse 8]
Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss
[Verse 9]
When the storm has blacked your sky
Intuition crucify
When the ego strips your reign
Assassinate the living flame
[Verse 10]
So, what now?
Where go I?
[Verse 11]
When you think it's all said and done
[Verse 12]
Venom of a life insane
Bites into your fragile vein
Internalize and decimate
Patronize and complicate
[Verse 13]
So, what now?
Where go I?
[Verse 14]
When you think it's all said and done
[Verse 15]
Bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
[Verse 16]
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons
[Verse 17]
Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss
[Verse 18]
Judas lives, recite this vow
I've become your new god now
[Verse 19]
Followed you from dawn of time
Whispered thoughts into your mind
Watched your towers hit the ground
Lured your children never found
Helped your kings abuse their crown
In the heart of feeble man
Plant the seeds of my own plan
The strong and powerful will fall
Find a piece of me in all...
Inside you all
[Verse 20]
So, bow down
Sell your soul to me
I will set you free
Pacify your demons
[Verse 21]
Bow down
Surrender unto me
Submit infectiously
Sanctify your demons
[Verse 22]
Into abyss
You don't exist
Cannot resist
The Judas kiss
