Apologue Lyrics
The fruit is bitter, don't taste of it
You'll soon regret every poisoned bite you take
It's tempting you, almost begging
Every step of the way, every last breath you take
And as you stand there in a trance
Salivating through every pore in your body
You pine for that release you can only achieve by giving in
She puts her hand on you, gently
Whispers in your ear, 'Baby, it'll be alright'
So you take the forbidden fruit
slowly from the tree that is growing
Then you take a bite
Can you taste the disease?
You start shaking the tree
You're fucking fool of greed
Turn and look at your whore
You've never seen her before with your disgusting eyes
Some call this sin
Some call this misery
Now take it in
I call this fate
You'll soon regret every poisoned bite you take
It's tempting you, almost begging
Every step of the way, every last breath you take
And as you stand there in a trance
Salivating through every pore in your body
You pine for that release you can only achieve by giving in
She puts her hand on you, gently
Whispers in your ear, 'Baby, it'll be alright'
So you take the forbidden fruit
slowly from the tree that is growing
Then you take a bite
Can you taste the disease?
You start shaking the tree
You're fucking fool of greed
Turn and look at your whore
You've never seen her before with your disgusting eyes
Some call this sin
Some call this misery
Now take it in
I call this fate
It's in your hand, you held the seed
Now blooming tales of misery
The ivy whispers unto the snake
'Another loss for humanity'
The sweetest sin coming to life
It's all you'll ever see
Greed and selfishness destroys the light
And you will never see
Brought down to my knees, burden weight that's crushing me
Apologized and weakened, I've given my all
A statement but a lie, so reach inside this hollow chest
Pull out what's left of this bleeding heart
Sacred...is the action
Selfish...is the notion
GRROOWWW
Grow your horns
Loath your thorns
Your attraction to failure a fleeting identity
So hopeless
Your dreams and desires are so fucking worthless
So worthless
Now blooming tales of misery
The ivy whispers unto the snake
'Another loss for humanity'
The sweetest sin coming to life
It's all you'll ever see
Greed and selfishness destroys the light
And you will never see
Brought down to my knees, burden weight that's crushing me
Apologized and weakened, I've given my all
A statement but a lie, so reach inside this hollow chest
Pull out what's left of this bleeding heart
Sacred...is the action
Selfish...is the notion
GRROOWWW
Grow your horns
Loath your thorns
Your attraction to failure a fleeting identity
So hopeless
Your dreams and desires are so fucking worthless
So worthless
It's in your hand, you held the seed...now blooming tales of misery
The ivy whispers unto the snake, "another loss for humanity"
Now know the end
The ivy whispers unto the snake, "another loss for humanity"
Now know the end
