Skye Maelstrom Faust
Rooted in the Insane IV
Four times have I felt the pain.
Burning up, now I feel insane.
Blinded eyes tied to the stake,
Cast beneath a bottomless lake.
Loving life, I wish I could
Move, but I was stopped where I stood.
Crush my head, watch the blood flow
Down like a river I don't know
If 'tis better to die here
Than to live life in pain and fear.
So push me down under dirt,
I promise I won't feel it hurt.
Draw my blood with all the pain.
Make it simple to fear your name.
Blind me now with your desire
And cast me in my lake of fire.
Rooted in the Insane V
Five times over - why the pain
That leaves me here without a name?
Torture me, I will not break,
Nor my heart's desire 'er forsake.
So much pain and so much more
That leaves me begging on the floor.
Kick me, beat me I don't care.
What is mine I will never share.
Wrench from me my only heart.
It makes the science more an art.
But to you I'll never tell
Of love that's lifted me from hell.
Keep it up - I like the pain
That burns me hollow without shame.
Hang me, burn me at the stake,
My heart's desire I'll not forsake.
Rooted in the Insane VI
Six times now - ever more pain
That burns and leaves me with no name.
Being eaten by the snake
Is much like drowning in the lake.
Cast me in the deep hell-hole.
The flame that burns my very soul
Will leave me not so much more
Than what the devils have in store
For me and you and our love,
That rains like fire from up above.
Falling down, I hit the ground.
Alone now, there's no one around.
Hurt me more, extend my pain
That burns so deep within my brain.
You alone could be my friend
But have left me now without end.
