Ice Nine Kills - The Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics
How could this happen?
Am I dreaming again?
Her body’s not moving; I’m assuming she’s dead.
This isn’t a fucking game!
There’s somebody’s life at stake
She’s covered in bruises
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
'Cause I could never hurt a fly.
Then how’d she lose her life?
You're in denial
Time to burn and dig
The whites of my eyes
Then what went on that night
“Listen closely as I tell you I’m not who I seem.
I’m gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream.
I want to watch you when you’re sleeping and thinking of me.”
And that’s what he told her as he killed her.
That son of a bitch took away my girl.
He’s gonna pay for it
Right now.
Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
It's murder (and this is it)
(My girl!)
You better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you
'Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
And I’ll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If that could bring you back to me
Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive
It was springtime on our wedding day
There were birds in the sky
The sun was glowing, it was beautiful, and everyone was there.
I still can’t believe that you're gone. I’m so lost.
I’m sorry-- don’t go.
Oh please God no!
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
He's just a murderer
Come on, don't...
I think that I've had enough but
He says, “You're too late
I’ve got a hole to dig
And you think that I’ve over-reacted
She was just so cute.
I can’t resist cause I’m a sucker for promiscuous actions.
So tell me (just tell me)
Tell me the truth.
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
He's a murderer
'Cause you'll be lying awake
From this nightmare and feel betrayed.
I gave my life
But you took it away.
(Am I dead?)
Or am I still breathing?
'Cause you’ve stolen the love of my life.
So you’ll be sleeping with the fishes tonight
(Sleeping with the fishes tonight)
Now listen.
I’m not religious but I’ve learned to pray (for her)
I’m not a violent man but people can change
So while you’re sleeping
I’ll slit your throat and drain your blood
And mail it to your mother
She’ll discover what a mess you become.
(I think she might like that.)
I fucking do!
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
But don't believe what he says
He's not real
He's a murderer
'Cause you'll be lying awake
From this nightmare and feel betrayed.
I gave my life
But you took it away.
There's not a day that goes by...
But you took it away (x2).
