Communion Lyrics by Otep

The Ascension

0

I sold my soul
So long ago

And now I'm alone
Here
In the palace
Of madness and sadness and bone

And she said
To the ghosts in her head

I will find the edge
I will force my fingers in

I will sip from the slit
I will rip you to shreds
I will rip you to shreds

Rape the nun
Kill the saint
Wear their skin

There is no
There is no
Way to escape

And I know
The road of truth is lined
With crucified criminals and suicides
So maybe i'll just cut my throat
Maybe I'll make you smile while I choke
Hybrid creature of decay
There is no possible
Way to escape

Rape the nun
Kill the saint
Wear their skin

(there's no way to escape)

"Yesterday upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go away
I wish that man would go..."

Shadow man standing in my room
Smearing his conspiracies for me to consume
Shadow man has a plan, just wait and see
You'll all be sorry for fucking with me
(come out and play)

Shadow man, shadow man
Please go away
Shadow man, shadow man
Please go away
I really don't feel like playing today

Go away
Go away

I'm not ignoring you
I'm just plotting your doom
In a world that's ready to drown
Don't look - we have you now

Rape the nun
Kill the saint
Wear their skin

Tell me there's no way to escape...
