SCAPEGOAT
I am face to face with the bodies
With all the victims under the floor
I cannot push my way through the stones
Weighing me down
Because all the vultures gather to eat some more
It's an irrefutable truth
Because I was once just like you
But you all needed a martyr
So you made me the monster
To be your savior

SCAPEGOAT
Don't you dare believe the hype
That I was the archetype
The architect of doomsday
Because you know just what they say
There's a devil on my shoulder
The left hand path is so much colder
It's lined with skulls and fucking ravens
I answer only to myself
My own choices led me to this hell
I'd rather be here than rule in Heaven
I am eye to eye with the body
But I do not recognize my face
This crown of thorns is ripping my skin
The spear that kills
And crucifixion nails hold me into the grave
It's an irrefutable lie
To think I was once inside
The heart of man like a martyr
So you made me the monster
To be your savior

My own choices led me to this hell
I'd rather be here than rule in Heaven
You can beat me down
But I will never break
I've an ax to grind
COME AND FUCKING GET SOME
It's an irrefutable truth
That I was never like you
You will not make me your martyr
So you made me the monster
To be your savior

YOU CAN'T BEAT ME DOWN
CAUSE I WILL NOT BREAK
I'VE AN AX TO GRIND
COME AND FUCKING GET SOME
