Skin of Evil - Ballad of Armus

[Verse 1] They made me from the worst of them the rage they couldn't hold They poured me out like something spoiled and left me in the cold On a world with no name worth saying under a sky with nothing to give They took the light and called it freedom and told me this is how I'd live [Chorus] I'm what you left behind baby I'm every word you couldn't say You scraped me off your silver souls and flew the other way Don't tell me that I'm evil when you're the ones who made me stay [Verse 2] A woman came and I reached for her she fell like they all do I didn't want to hurt her honey I just wanted to hurt you But you were gone a thousand years so she would have to stand for every beautiful and holy thing that wouldn't hold my hand [Chorus] I'm what you left behind baby I'm every word you couldn't say You scraped me off your silver souls and flew the other way Don't tell me that I'm evil when you're the ones who made me stay [Bridge] They sent a man in red and gold who said he pitied me He walked away and left me screaming on sand beside a dead black sea Pity is the worst of it worse than being alone At least the dark was honest before they beamed back to their throne [Final Chorus] I'm what you left behind baby I'm the shadow and the stain You made yourselves a paradise and left me made of pain Don't tell me that I'm nothing when nothing is your name When nothing is your name When nothing is your name [Outro with whispered word] Armus [Fade Out] [End]
