Spikes, in my veins That bastard feeling of estrangement… Knives, stab like shame A chronic bleeding of dejection… The gates are locked from the inside! The lies run wild in the hive mind! (2x) Spikes! Hell, is a room full of mirrors Lives flash before my eyes… (2x) The gates are locked from the inside! The lies run wild in the hive mind! (2x) Faces, names Barely recognized… I sowed their pain Emptied of life Cut off from the vine Hardened, jaded, calloused, petrified Their blood cries out! (2x) Cries out Cries out Cries out…. I feel, less than human… I’ve been, more cruel than a beast… Refine, the blaze enfleshed… Reinvigorating Paradise! I FEEL LESS THAN HUMAN! I’VE BEEN MORE CRUEL THAN A BEAST!
