Before Braille The Spanish Dagger Lyrics

The Spanish Dagger Lyrics

Well stop cashing me in for a thin line



You're right on track to know what it feels like



to lose more than you've ever gained



Charges pending further investigation



You've got to expect that you're falling from graces



Rehearsing all your persona will need when you're front-page fighting



(aim) for your dignity



I almost taste the the irony



How fiction replaces history



Use daunted glow to light your page



You say those feelings of doubt will never cut across your mouth



I know that Socrates and impurities are getting you down



You'll take all they've got to get your fill



Your time is running out



You're getting carried away because no one cares about your fame



I see the dagger in your name



Deny your roots for future rain, for future reign



Add one more kill to raise your worth



It's so sad, cause it's all the truth you have



Trade breath for gold



There's no Armageddon when banks are there to relieve you



Why prevent yourself to take wealth from someone else



Dare to incite yourself when you're your only foe



You're carried away



Nothing's real about your fame



I can see you drown in your own wake



So pale, so thin you'd float away



I see you trying so hard



So no one will ever take your place when you feel the dagger brush your face



Well' I deny myself what I can take when I can wait'and expect the same



Incriminated, your teeth still shine over the suffering



Deceiving trade, but the blade will shine
