Green Eyed Demon lyrics

[Intro]
Another angel falls

[Verse 1]
Another angel falls from the skies
Smashes to the ground
In a whirlwind of white feathers
Another demon claws his way to the surface
Spreads his black wings
As he lusts for more blood

[Pre-Chorus]
Something expendable was all I craved
To fill a hole in my soul, and I found that in you
You were up against a Russian roulette
With all chambers loaded

[Chorus]
Everything burns, if you apply enough heat
Everyone yearns, parted from their desire
Your innocence was never an excuse
That dream was yours and never mine...

[Verse 2]
A misplaced step got me in debt
It's a debt I can't repay
Even with all the money in this world
Caught in an impending doom
Too late to repent
I'll run and hide in my castle of cards
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't fear to go slow
Just to stand still
Shun the sniper marks
And barricade the gate
My only protection
My only protection
Is other people's, people's silence

[Chorus]
Everything burns, if you apply enough heat
Everyone yearns, parted from their desire
Your innocence was never an excuse
That dream was yours and never mine
If they find me, they will drown me
In a lake of fire
I will never regret what I did
Even as I expire

[Bridge]
Every word you said
Was ammunition to me
I emptied a clip into your face
To discover your identity
Behind the mask
Behind the ragged mask
A green-eyed demon
Behind the mask
Behind the ragged mask
A green-eyed demon
[Refrain]
Everything burns...
Everything burns...
Everything burns

[Chorus]
Everything burns, if you apply enough heat
Everyone yearns, parted from their desire
Your innocence was never an excuse
That dream was yours and never mine...

[Outro]
Everything burns
Everyone yearns
Everything burns
Everyone yearns

If they find me, they will drown me
In a lake of fire
I will never regret what I did
Even as I expire
