I came to conquer
I came for greed
I came to release
the prisoner within you
I came for you
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
a semi truck
collided in my yard
my head is stuck
between forever and a jar
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
I came to conquer
I came for greed
I came to conquer
I came for greed
I came to conquer
I came for greed
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
dödsangst
I came to release
the prisoner within you
I came for you
there was a room
and then there was you
entering it
and there was you
owning it
a sweet smell of champagne
behind every step you made
turning the harshest land on earth
into an instant bloom
leaving the room heaving for air
salute maestro
salute maestro
salute maestro
my diabolical mistress
of love and death
can`t tell them apart
salute maestro
leading me into rooms
that I`ve never been
to oceans I`ve never crossed
sleeping beneath skies
I never knew existed
holding my head
when I`m down
giving me head
when I`m up
this is what I want
salute maestro
salute maestro
salute maestro
my diabolical mistress
of love and death
can`t tell them apart
salute maestro
salute maestro
salute maestro
salute maestro
my diabolical mistress
of love and death
can`t tell them apart
salute maestro
I tried to reach you
but it was not for me to decide
when christmas was set to be this year
you had it all
and I had nothing
untill you came into the light
darkness had a short way out of it
and all I had to do
was to crawl in
and stay
it all makes sense
until sense makes no sense
any more
a father and son of lazarus, they say
turns out he was praying
as we all do
you had it all
and I had nothing
untill you came into the light
darkness had a short way out of it
and all I had to do
was to crawl in
and stay
hang around
just to hang around
sleeping to stay awake
as the evening fall
did you ever
hear my call
you had it all
and I had nothing
untill you came into the light
darkness had a short way out of it
and all I had to do
was to crawl in
and stay
you had it all
and I had nothing
untill you came into the light
darkness had a short way out of it
and all I had to do
was to crawl in
and stay
I saw the boogie-man
way down in Tennessee
sitting on top of a drone
yelling come on, come on
tryin`to find a spot
to land
if love is a prison
you need to escape
before you go blind
you need to see
for yourself
don`t you know
for cryin` out in silence
come on, baby
mess me up
mess me up
like you never did before
mess me up
let the river
bend in your direction
find your way
find your isle
find your island
to find me
there`s no beauty
there`s no beast
just you and I
for cryin` out in silence
come on, baby
mess me up
mess me up
like you never did before
mess me up
love and promises made
ghosts and folklore companions
when their heads start to roll
their calls won`t be answered
no more
so, baby
mess me the fuck up
