Gore Lyrics by Deftones

Gore

2016

[Verse 1]
Deep in this dream we are locked in
I've pulled you in
Now our bodies are wet
There is blood on the beaches
I brought you into this
Don't deny yourself

[Chorus]
Smile, you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game

[Verse 2]
We lay in the gore of our vices
Oh, we writhe in them
At night, we assemble the hunt
For our prizes
I hooked you in this way
You should try yourself

[Chorus]
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the world

[Bridge]
We'll slip right through
These gates together someday

[Verse 3]
Lost in these dreams we arrive in
I know you well
Develop the taste
That will tie us together
I put you in this game
Just remind yourself

[Chorus]
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running wild

[Bridge]
We'll slip right through
These gates together someday
We'll trip right through
You slave forever someday

[Chorus]
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Take what you want to take
Surprise, you're now running the game
Smile, now you're all set
Surprise, you're now one of the gang
Just take what you want to take
Surprise, you're home
