8th Commandment Lyrics by Sonata Arctica

Ecliptica

1999

[Verse 1]
All those lies suit you
They are custom made to
Drive you out of reality
Lies are true for you
You know, what you do is
Reaching a point of insanity

[Pre-Chorus]
When you wake from your dream you know what is true?
Ring of bell inside your head is playing with your mind

[Verse 2]
Remember to pray
And what the Bible says
And you will live through eternity
You haven't heard of this?
There is something you missed
It will cost you so heavily

[Pre-Chorus]
You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say

[Chorus]
Stay for a while, stay forever
Sing for the times you are bound to betray
Run for your life, run forever
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die

[Verse 3]
When you're done with him
You know where you have been
He will treat us all equally
Can you feel the fire burning

[Pre-Chorus]
You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say

[Chorus]
Stay for a while, stay forever
Sing for the times you are bound to betray
Run for your life, run forever
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die

[Chorus]
Stay for a while, stay forever
Sing for the times you are bound to betray
Run for your life, run forever
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die
