Remember Me

I'm not a liar

I'm just tired

Of pretending to tell the truth

I'm not entitled

I'm just blinded

By the seldom right to choose

Beneath the sheets

The priestess sings

Her celibacy blues

The hangman hoses

Down the roses

Where the remanence of his youth

Is put on trial by the smiles

Of a thousand unborn suns

I wash my hands before this crowd

As the oceans fill with blood

I'm not impatient

You're just wasting my time

Let me speak to your boss

I'm not complacent

I just hate you

Sure, I'm sorry for your loss

The devil dances in the desert

To a hot one hundred song

The general's laughing in his casket

Asking "Was it ever worth the cost?"

But all crusaders pay their wagers

With the blood of those found lost

I wipe the sweat upon my brow

And I return into dust

Oh, you thought you'd love me forever

Well good luck with that

Remember me exactly as I am

Oh, you thought you'd love me forever

Well good luck with that

Remember me exactly as I am

Remember me

Sorry to leave

Honor my legacy
