Warned
The voices I hear have warned me
The deepest lies adore you
And consume you in every way
You're giving us nothing
Decay
Cut the tounge you speak with to say
Don't believe, don't believe it
The wrong way
On the path to somewhere
Don't feed the selfish mouth of man
Born
Into a life that depletes me
Your empty words
Have burned you and condemned you
Another day
Again you mean nothing
Decay
Cut the tounge you speak with to say
Don't believe, don't believe it
The wrong way
On the path to somewhere
Don't feed the selfish mouth of man
Take it away
Decay
Cut the tounge you speak with to say
Don't believe, don't believe it
The wrong way
On the path to somewhere
Don't feed the selfish mouth of man
Decay
Cut the tounge you speak with to say
Don't believe, don't believe it
The wrong way
On the path to somewhere
Don't feed the selfish mouth of man
Decay
