Pleasure is bleeding to smoother the words
The four walls drain me dry
Of all imagination
Crying out to be told to stand still
Crying out to be told to stand still

The price of red death
Is the price of true love
The black Queen jumps through my skin
The king of hearts is waiting
Close to home

More blood for the price of red death

Nailing you to the wall
Nailing you to the Spanish Mystic
Nailing you to the wall

Who wants to play Roman Soldier
That lives inside of me

Perennial artist, what do you see?

My secret fear of being alone
I sit and hold hands with myself
I sit and make love to myself

I've got blood on my hands
I've got blood on your hands
Blood on your hands
Blood
