The Devil and The Goat

[Verse 1] The source of all superstition, Etched in every suspicion, On the tip of every tongue, In every breath through your lungs, Tattooed on every lip, Sewn on every grin, Whispered in every song. Twisted in all your beliefs, On every unholy word, Pushed through your holy teeth. [Chorus] I... The monster of your dreams... You're not what you seem, Your worst nightmares... Are a world without me. So come smite me, So boldly, Come smite me. [Verse 2] Donning a crown of pride, Like a birthright, Riding in on your high horse, With your mighty sword, To purge the threat, Your usual suspect, of course. The monster you're feeding, It's the power you're needing, Too proud, too dumb, too vain, ...Too blind to see, The rot from within. [Chorus] I... The monster of your dreams... You're not what you seem, Your worst nightmares... Are a world without me. So come smite me, (So wholly) So wholly, (So holy) Come smite me. [Breakdown] Strike!... Strike! ...While I'm weak. So paint your twisted picture, Recite your sacred scripture... [Bridge] Your word is the law, You do no wrong after all, A luxury reserved for me. A bloodlust so specifically, Only mine satiates, typically. So come... Claim your trophy. [Verse 3] Your reasons come in chains, The disdain in your persistence. The demon that will remain, The bane of your existence. Forever, I'll be the name, The heart of the resistance, Forever, you'll be the same, Searching for aim... In your insistence. [Pre-chorus] And for nothing less, Killing for the glory, A thrilling conquest, The villain of your story. [Final Chorus] I... The monster of your dreams... You're not what you seem, Your worst nightmares... Are a world without me. 'Cause then, There'll be nothing left, None to point the finger at. It'll be your skin, As you admit your sins. Your worst nightmares... Is the devil within. So come smite me, (Come smite me) So wholly, (So holy) So boldly, Come smite me! Come smite me! Come smite me... Come smite me!
