Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I slide through the wasteland, that's my world
My hunger takes your life
Preyed on to keep me alive, yeah
Mercy is all that you need
Mercy's empty in me
[Chorus]
Can't you feel the poison rising?
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
[Verse 2]
That's right
I shed my skin tonight
But my fangs are hard to hide
And you know that you're going to die, yeah
Mercy is all that you need
Mercy's empty in me
[Chorus]
Can't you feel the poison rising?
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
[Verse 3]
I can't regret
Can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
[Verse 4]
Making my way through the night
You're still in my sight
You're running away 'cause you know you can't hide
My instincts are cold-blooded hate
To you, I'm the bearer of fate
Wrong place and now the wrong time
Now terror is all that you'll find
Oh
[Chorus]
Can't you feel the poison rising?
Straight to the heart of the venomous bite
Can't you feel the poison rising?
Out of the morning and clear through the night
You can feel my strength destroy you
Straight to the heart from the venomous bite
[Verse 5]
I can't regret
Can't escape
Decisions made for me, no control
Fire that burns but never dies, yeah
Wrapped around, I'll bury my fangs inside
[Verse 6]
Stay inside tonight (You're out there all alone)
Vanish from my sites (Venomous control)
You won't make it right (My appetite has grown)
Lost your final fight (No love will be shown)
[Outro]
Stay inside tonight (You're out there all alone)
Vanish from my sites (Venomous control)
You can't make it right (My appetite has grown)
Lost your final fight (No love will be shown)
