One Drop

Last night

I stole a secret

From the sleeping gods

A recipe for tyranny

The human world forgot

I learned about a potion

That places in your hands

The strings of fate and motion

Of life to sudden end

One drop drowns your memory

In the lake of loss

(One drop)

One drop sells your sanity

And nails you to the cross

(One drop)

It places seven splinters

In your open eyes

Turns the world around you

Into a thousand lies

It takes away your breathing

And blows it to the wind

Along with your confession

"Father, I have sinned!"

One drop drowns your memory

In the lake of loss

(One drop)

One drop sells your sanity

And nails you to the cross

(One drop)

One drop bends you to my will

My will and my demand

(One drop)

One drop and the world stands still

And waits for my command

One drop drowns your memory

In the lake of loss

(One drop)

One drop sells your sanity

And nails you to the cross

(One drop)

One drop bends you to my will

My will and my demand

(One drop)

One drop and the world stands still

And waits for my command
