[Verse 1]
I want to watch you drown in your lies
The end of your masquerade
A matter of time, intertwining lies
Domination, control
Feed his twisted nature
[Chorus]
It is sickening to see dreams die
A word of advice
Fate's patience is growing short
Fake down to your mind and appearance
You will fall short of the dreams to destroy
[Bridge]
In time you will find
Yourself trapped in a corner
These four words, my friend
I promise you will not forget
[Guitar Solo: Andy LaRocque]
[Guitar Solo: Chuck Schuldiner]
[Verse 2]
I am one of many that see through your lies
Hiding will do you no good, many seek revenge
Soon to become a victim of what
You live to create and cannot have
[Chorus]
It is sickening to see dreams die
A word of advice
Fate's patience is growing short
Fake down to your mind and appearance
You will fall short of the dreams to destroy
