The Pillar

[Verse 1]
Dressed in a shroud preparing the standoff
A meeting of the minds must be understood
Benevolent grin couldn't be kinder
The ceremony guest is unveiling his hood

[Verse 2]
Draining power straight from the pillar
Grisly affection no one denies
The darker the room, the warmer the climate
For an unsuspected thrill homicide

[Pre-Chorus]
Open mindedness
You're old enough now
Narrow mindedness
Lethargic is thought
Your brain slowly rots
Lust for the taste, no time to waste

[Chorus]
It gives me, it gives me strength
It gives me strength over you (yes I do)

[Verse 3]
Waited the day that I'd be discovered
Oblivious fools take the longest time
Endless travels through laws of nature
Opening boxes oh what a find

[Verse 4]
The maximum pain with minimum pleasure
Strive for the things that you never can have
Chasing a dream that seems so appealing
Only to awaken on the wrong path

[Pre-Chorus]
Open mindedness
You're old enough to know
Narrow mindedness
Lethargic is thought
Your brain slowly rots
Lust for the taste, no time to waste

[Chorus]
It gives me, it gives me strength
It gives me strength over you
Over you
Over you!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 5]
Begging to be the servants pet
Breaking free from the horde of norm
Futile transition, plenty of residue
The cheerful flesh is rolled into form

[Verse 2]
Draining power straight from the pillar
A grisly affection no one denies
The darker the room, the warmer the climate
For an unsuspected thrill homicide
Homicide!

[Chorus]
It gives me, it gives me strength
It gives me strength over you
