Beating On Deaths Door Lyrics - Sacrament - Lamb Of God

She's a slack one, born of greed 

Speaking endless words, long and empty 

A beggar who still wants to choose 

A dethroned queen still demands her due 

If you want something for nothing you take what you get 

A virgin whore in a dirty wedding dress 

Scream for salvation, beating on death's door 

But just be careful what you wish for 

There's blood stain on the ceiling 

But you're the only duck in the shooting gallery 

Trying to look out a bricked-in window 

Your destiny lies in the alley below 

Trying to see yourself in a shattered mirror 

When all else fails, she told you with broken arms 

There's poison in her veins, but the bitch comes for free 

A quick fix for all that you think that you need. 

Scream for salvation, beating on death's door 

But just be careful what you wish for 

The patron saint of fools answers all your request 

She's all yours now, so deal with it 

There's no shoulder left to cry wolf on 

You're tied in knots that can't be undone 

No more warnings will fall on deaf ears 

You lied too many times now no one cares 

No one cares 

An empty promise with a heart of tin 

Her crooked smile beguiles and it draws you within 

The hope for something more, all that you wish for 

A kick to the head and a boot to the door 

Chasing a dragon in a ladies clothes 

A paper trail ends in choking smoke 

But you know that you lit the match yourself 

Play the burning cards you dealt 

Scream for salvation, beating on death's door 

But just be careful what you wish for 

The patron saint of fools answers all your request 

She's all yours now, so deal with it 

Broken
