If cruel by cruel be cruel
And twist the knife
If cruel by cruel be cruel
And spread the suffering

By cruel be proud for what
Your cruel hands made
With loving eyes embrace the cruelty
That was done today

Do you feel do you feel anything at all?
Or is this all a numbness brought on by the world

If cruel by cruel be cruel
And spill the blood again
If cruel by cruel be cruel
And take me to the end

Outcasted pushed away
From prying eyes a world away
In body mind and soul
You're torn for evermore

The blade sings a softer song

And the screams a gentle lullaby engulfed
In the swoon of sorrow and ecstasy
Until tomorrow when I cease to breathe

I look into your eyes and I see that there's pain
I could never truly understand
The sorrow's sown deep within you
Out of reach from a healing

If cruel by cruel be cruel
And end what in joy you began
Fulfill what you set out to do
Lest I'm freed and my vengeance begin

A bitter cold touch exhibition of sin
And a heart that is too far gone
The tools that betray the darkness from the day
The shadows is where you remain
