Faces of Fire
Sirens scream...demons dream...devils laughing...dirty deeds
Sour seeds...wicked weeds...quicksand...chaos queens
Night falls...day breaks...firey lake...no escape
Seconds...minutes...strike the hour...gone like ghosts
Faces of fire
Hands of Hell...sweating...bleeding
Thoughts of terror...scared and seething
Beasts of burden...Incest...breeding
Smelling...hearing...seeing...disbelieving
Rights...lefts...failure...tests
No way out...only in
Tear the ticket...take the ride
Burning 4ever...drastic and dire
Faces of fire
wars...wastelands...life...death
Plots...plans...mice...men
Rats...roaches...crunching...cracked
Driven...dumped...travelers trapped
Billion roads to ruination
U-turn signs...devistation
Millions...mental masterbation...******...orgies...feasts of flesh
Savage...sex...satan...stretched
Hitmen and hunters...once for hire
Faces of fire
Praying...pleading...begging...beating
Memories...miswired...meaning...moments mispent...too late now to repent
Anger...ashes...doom...dust
Rivers...running...rabbits...rust
Lightning...lips...surging...speaking
Consequences...sowing...reaping
Coldness...creeping...love is leaving
Guilty as charged...end of the trial...feel the heat
Faces of fire
