Kiss of Death

Shackles on my feet
And I'm dragged through the mud
The veins in my arms
Are exposed in every fight
Heart jumps out of my chest
Revealing skies in tha moonlight

A wolf in sheep's clothing
Leaves the mark of the beast
As he howl at the moon
Preparing for a feast

The devil is leaving
The kiss of death upon my cheek
Trying to buy my soul
And bury it beneath the concrete

Jumping through loops
Baptized by fire
Saying that he can give me
My whole heart's desire

Playin' nothing but games
Showing nothing but slickness
Say he got what I need
And can relieve all my sickness

This gotta be a dream
Nothing but pain's infliction
Devil taking over
And way out of his jurisdiction

All I have are addictions
Have me wavin' a flag
Got me suicidal
Cut writs and thrown in a body bag

Devil on my shoulder
But he's givin' me a smirk
All up in my ear
Whispering evil like clockwork

Trying to stay in prayer
Telling it all like a confession
The kiss of the devil
Definitely leaves me with oppression

I'm trying to hold on
Gasping for my last breath
I feel defeated because
I've been marked by the kiss of death
