In the Study with the Candlestick

In the Study with a Candlestick


I could kill, could kill
Could taste the dread in your lies
Your kind is working overtime


In senses where you rule the world
Golden tongues lick the feet
Of subjects in plight


Bumbling words of intercepting minds
Espionage at its finest
Look toward your future
And the empire falls fast


Call me by name, my name
You don't know my name?
My very breath keeps you alive

How dare you!

How dare you!

How dare you

Call me out by name!


Time stops for you
Phasing between stars
How ungrateful that you are...
Two steps for you, and you falter


Hollowed heart,
It's eaten from the inside
Pillaged by the natives
And paraded at the city square
(On a stick, on a stick)


Burning desires
An earthly tomb
Trapped, I'm locked away
Keep me dry, away from the rain
No rain please


Your frailty is making
A name for itself 'round town
It's going for a price
Of only your name

How Dare you!

How dare you!

You called me out by name!
