Collecting Souls
temptress in the night
once we were friends
stabbing my back
the blade still stings
venom of lust
thorn in my side
lost to the world
you need control
corruption the ingredient
of a so called victim
destroying this life
neglecting the truth
seduced by the fight
killing opposition
fist to the face
calling me out
awaken the beast
collecting souls
shedding your skin
behold the demon
underneath the mask
eyes of false promises
seduce the masses
judas in disguise
wanting to judge
the future of mankind
corruption the ingredient
of a so called victim
destroying this life
neglecting the truth
seduced by the fight
killing opposition
fist to the face
calling me out
awaken the beast
collecting souls
did you really think
i’d just be a bitch
nice guy taking it in
paint me with your brush
called deception
couldn’t be more wrong
crashing down
reflecting you
corruption the ingredient
of a so called victim
destroying this life
neglecting the truth
seduced by the fight
killing opposition
fist to the face
calling me out
awaken the beast
collecting souls
once we were friends
stabbing my back
the blade still stings

thorn in my side

The grim reaper helps a lot to explain the song, awesome lyrics bro.
Very dark and compelling in a way that it gets straight to the point with some mystery.
