One Drop

Last night
I stole a secret
From the sleeping gods
A recipe for tyranny
The human world forgot

I learned about a potion
That places in your hands
The strings of fate and motion
Of life to sudden end

One drop drowns your memory
In the lake of loss
(one drop)
One drop sells your sanity
And nails you to the cross
(one drop)

It places seven splinters
In your open eyes
Turns the world around you
Into a thousand lies
It takes away your breathing
And blows it to the wind
Along with your confession
"father, i have sinned!"

One drop drowns your memory
In the lake of loss
(one drop)
One drop sells your sanity
And nails you to the cross
(one drop)
One drop bends you to my will
My will and my demand
(one drop)
One drop and the world stands still
And waits for my command

One drop drowns your memory
In the lake of loss
(one drop)
One drop sells your sanity
And nails you to the cross
(one drop)
One drop bends you to my will
My will and my demand
(one drop)
One drop and the world stands still
And waits for my command
