[Verse 1]
Oh Dionysus
You drank yourself under the table again
You bring joy to the ones who loved you
And then turned them with all your strength
Oh Dionysus
You lay all who possesses a pulse
Spread your seed where the wind can blow it
Drink the blood from your father's scar
[Verse 2]
Oh Dionysus
The edge comes when it comes
Restraint is a tall order
Your desire cannot stay dumb
Oh Dionysus
Stain the Earth with all you've got
Your gods are dead and buried
But the skin is warm and soft
[Chorus]
Always between the good and bad
Oh poor Dionysus
You want more than you can have
My poor Dionysus
[Verse 3]
Hold your men, this is not alone
It moves in groups of people
And condemns what they condone
Dear Dionysus
You've split your head and heart
You'll never win the war
When you only hurt yourself
[Bridge]
Didn't you know I could force your soul
Break you in to the quiet night?
Didn't you see, I could take you now
Seize up all my given right
I know you want you want to help me
But I will be your salvation
Tearing through your beauty
Too lost for damnation
[Chorus]
Always between the good and bad
Oh poor Dionysus
You are more than you can have
My poor Dionysus
