Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions
Album - 25 ottobre 1997 - Debaser id 60645

Hate, is what I am
Cause' underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man

You'll wear your crown
When you're lyin' 6 feet underground
Don't you think it's odd
Man was created in the image of God

All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners
We've all been here before

Yes, Hate is what I am
Cause' underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man

So you're lookin' for a saviour
But I'm here to tell ya
You gotta save yourself
Like a lamb to slaughter
All you ever did was follow orders

All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door
Listen all you butchers, saints and sinners,
We've all been here before
All you martyrs and saviours
Go through the same door

Hey listen all you butchers, saints and sinners,
We've all been here before
Hate HATE!

Yes, Hate is what I am
Cause' underneath this heart
There beats the heart of man, man
MAN!

I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks
So what, there's nothing left to do
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix
As if what I thought mattered much to you

(chorus)
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End
It was forever and ever
Did you understand
It's Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over

Sunday morning in the New York Times
I read you died last night
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind
And the note you left behind said:

You were always my friend from Childhood's End
Seems like forever and ever
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend
It's near the end
You won't ever be a rock and roller

You were just like me, I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you!

Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End
But never, the dream is over
You were just like me
I was just like you
For eternity I'll think of you

(Repeat choruses, overlapping, fade out)
You've got something about you,
You've got something I need...
