I know what you are.
The eyes- they belie the disguise.
In silence the hunter stalks.
I've seen the monster inside.
The venom, the poison, manipulation:
The weapons you hide you hide behind your smile.
Suffer the fools. They fall to your smile,
gladly becoming your prey.
To suffer the slings and the arrows gladly
just to stay in your circle of light.
The silk at your feet is just the trembling web as you feed.
I've seen the monster inside.
The venom, the poison, manipulation:
The weapons you hide you hide behind your smile.
You take.
I've seen your sinister side.
I've felt your cold embrace.
I've watched you take without compunction, without pause.
I know you wouldn't earn it when it's easier to take.
And to watch the panicked realization would please you even more.
This is the way that you see that the world is yours
to play with and manipulate according to your wants.
You take. You watch them suffer.
You twist the truth to make it yours.
Desires attained, you're spinning your lies.
Another fool coming to pray.
Before the altar, the altar of victims
stand fools who serve as their own offerings.
The silk at your feet is just the trembling web as you feed.
I've seen the monster inside.
The venom, the poison, manipulation:
The weapons you hide you hide behind your smile.
