Beating On Death S Door lyrics

She`s a slack one born of greed
Speaking endless words, long and empty
A begger who wants to choose
A dethroned queen still demands her due
If you want something for nothing you take what you get
A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress

Scream for salvation, beating on death`s door
But just be careful what you wish for

There`s a blood stain on the ceiling
But you`re the only duck in the shooting gallery
Trying to look out a bricked-in window
Your destiny lies in the alley below
Trying to see yourself in a shattered mirror
When all else fails, she holds you with broken arms
There`s poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free
A quick fix for all that you think that you need

Scream for salvation, beating on death`s door
But just be careful what you wish for
The patron saint of fools answers all your requests
She`s all yours now, so deal with it

There`s no shoulder left to cry wolf on
You`re tied in knots that can`t be undone
No more warnings will fall on deaf ears
You lied too many times now no one cares
No one cares

An empty promise with a heart of tin
Her crooked smile beguiles and it draws you within
The hope for something more, all that you wish for
A kick to the head, a boot to the door
Chasing a dragon in a lady`s clothes
A paper trail ends in choking smoke
But you know that you lit the match yourself
Play the burning cards that you dealt

Scream for salvation, beating on death`s door
But just be careful what you wish for
The patron saint of fools answers all your requests
She`s all yours now, so deal with it

Broken
