Today I died
And I'm up in heaven
Looking down on the world
Ark angel number seven
I was sent to earth
With a mission to complete
My memories
Remain bittersweet
Messenger
With a double duty verse
It's my legacy
My gift and my curse...
Hold your head up high
They will kill to see you feel
Evil lurks in the shadows
Just waiting to prevail
Every sinner has a future
Every saint has a past
Gotta keep the torch burning
So the message will last
Like a phoenix rising up
From a pile of burning ashes
Can't give up
No matter how those haters try to trash us
I will use my voice
Like this world's my motherfuckin' classroom
Touching hearts, saving lives
Warning of the black doom
Come with me
And take my hand
I'll lead you to a wonderland
A world that's free of hate and lies
Where beauty lives and evil dies
Relax your mind and close your eyes
Heaven's what you visualize
My wings of gold
Kill all despair
Just trust in me
I'll take you there
I'll take you there
This is my gift and my curse
'Til I'm dead in a hearse
My words will stain this fucking earth
Until I'm free from this sex lust succubus nurse
I can't escape this wicked curse
Like a vamp to a neck
Like a wolf to the flesh
I'm cursed, I'm cursed
I'm fucking dead
My gift, my gift
The only thing left
I can't escape this wretched fate
Why do I wear myself down to nothing?
Would you let me widdle myself into something?
Carving me down to the absolute bitterness
Wipe away the jealousy, I got nothing left
I'm chewing on what's left of my silent tongue
From holding it back for way too fucking long
I've been playing by the rules
I've lost myself in the game
I fear the person I used to be will never be the same
Come with me
And take my hand
I'll lead you to a wonderland
A world that's free of hate and lies
Where beauty lives and evil dies
Relax your mind and close your eyes
Heaven's what you visualize
My wings of gold
Kill all despair
Just trust in me
I'll take you there
I'll take you there
This is my gift and my curse
'Til I'm dead in a hearse
My words will stain this fucking earth
Until I'm free from this sex lust succubus nurse
I can't escape this wicked curse
Like a vamp to a neck
Like a wolf to the flesh
I'm cursed, I'm cursed
I'm fucking dead
My gift, my gift
The only thing left
I can't escape this wretched fate
It all comes back to you
Everything you put me through
It all comes back to you
Everything you put me through
You can drag me to Hell
You can curse me with spells
I'm damned, I'm damned
Like an angel that fell
My gift, my gift
Sent from Heaven above
Is meant to save all the fans I love
This is my gift and my curse
'Til I'm dead in a hearse
My words will stain this fucking earth
Until I'm free from this sex lust succubus nurse
I can't escape this wicked curse
Like a vamp to a neck
Like a wolf to the flesh
I'm cursed, I'm cursed
I'm fucking dead
My gift, my gift
The only thing left
I can't escape this wretched fate
You'll understand when I'm gone...
