A Lesson Once Learned Lyrics by Man Must Die

...Start Killing

2004

Strangulation my chosen way of killing you slow
Inside a maniac and there's no way of turning back
The time, the reason for the crime
Betraying my own trust
I never could control my urges
Descend on them
I'll come just like a plague
A dark prophet of misery
Denied any love as a child
To kill everything
Is what keeps me alive

It keeps me alive

Sickest fuck the world has ever known
No one can touch me I reclaim my throne

If you look in these eyes
You'll see death in disguise
An image of blasphemy
Pure blood destroyer of life
I'll tear your soul apart
My dripping works of art

Come visit my mind
In the depths you only will find
Murder and hatred boiling inside
Murder

Shaping death in my own design

Moulding death into desire
Lost touch of all reality
Years of abuse to fuel the fire
I have no control

Start killing, ah!
Oh!

No remorse a valid lesson learned
That’s all I need
To set me free from Hell
The time has come for me
To let the pain flow free
Trapped beneath my insanity
You can not run away from fate
Now this is the end
Of your pitiful existence
Now this is the end
Now this is the end

[Guitar Solo]

Strangulation my chosen way of killing you slow
Inside a maniac and there's no way of turning back
The time, the reason for the crime
Betraying my own trust
I never could control my urges

A lesson once learned
Is never forgotten
A lesson once learned
Is never forgotten
A lesson once learned
Is never forgotten
A lesson once learned
