Lyrics

Verse 1
Walk through the flames that eat your flesh,
Drowned in the waters that you know best.
Step inside, I been waiting here for you.
On your knees, for you shall crawl.
Flyin' so high you'll never fall,
Step inside we've been waiting here for you.

Chorus
Bow down you chose your maker.
Never gives, he's always a taker.
The electric burns the fuel the fire,
It's just your suicide messiah
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Verse 2
Walk through the streets that know your name,
All that's pure is now insane,
Step inside I've been waiting here for you.
Another trip, another line,
Life's hand of doom, your feeling fine.
Step inside, we've been waiting here for you.
