Lyrics

Please tell me what you see
behind these faded scars
Am I a phantom of your belief?
Or a mare sitting on your chest?
What delusions have you of me?
You knew right from the start
There was some danger involved with me
That's what turned you on!

Burn your pyre, don't consider the consequence
(was this not what you had thought? Is this your way out, your fuckin' war?)
Tame your desire, as the flames sear me
(Your efforts are for naught, cut one head off...)

So you have seen the other side of me, to a certain extent
and in your disgust you turn to these hypocrites!
My god am I disgusted by your display of ignorance
I think that you are better than this lot, won't you take the bet?

Oh you're my kind, just let me under your skin, and feel me burn inside
Oh what a delight it is to live in sin, without no compromise

--- Solo ---

Now in the aftermath of your outrage
you have had the time to consider whether there was cause for action
or whether overreaction is your vice
You see, we are not so different you and I
In fact most people aren't
They just keep it to themselves,
so ashamed of who they are, so ashamed of what they desire
that when they encounter one who is not
they run...

Oh you're my kind, just let me under your skin, and feel me burn inside
Oh what a delight it is to live in sin, without no compromise

Burn your pyre, don't consider the consequence
(was this not what you had thought? Is this your way out, your fuckin' war?)
Tame your desire, as the flames sear me
(Your efforts are for naught, cut one head off then two more...)
Guns for hire, Guns for hire
