Venom

It was a cold night, but by the dawn's light
the city streets began to swell and crawl.
I emerge then from the alley,
the tempest spirit now in my sight.
Well, I have seen you, you walk the wire,
oh yes, I know you very well.
You've got a place in the Hamptons,
jet off to London.
The threads are Italian, how very expensive.

But oh, you wear them well
as you serpentine.

I am the bringer of the rain
and the foreteller of the pain.
The end of days is near at hand.
When God returns your just reward,
gets paid in Venom!

I will be with the others
when the day breaks,
as the earth shakes.
I will be with the numbers
when the earth breaks,
open for you.

"Oh you kill me, well it's quite amusing.
I am drawn to your strength, yeah, you really believe.
All the churning and discerning anger, hatred, and resentment,
bet you've gone catatonic, yeah, right on over the edge"

And the greed of hell
burns like gasoline,

no ransom for your petty soul.
I wipe your ashes from your gold,
the end of days is near at hand.
When all that was becomes a vapor,
slain by Venom!

I wrap a curse around your throat,
God's wrath reserved through time for you.
"How dare you proselytize me,
I run the show you fool"

Damnation
"Hell hath no fury"
Completely blind
"I ride the golden rail"
Vengeance
"From where?"
Vengeance
"I wait"
And so you ask and shall receive.

Vengeance upon all evil men.
Your time has come, all will repent.

All the riches, all the gold
"Why so bitter mortal man?"
Gain the world, lose your soul
"I am lion you are lamb"
Stallions from the sky,
hellfire rain and demons fly
from those of us sent here
to kill your false religion now.

All the riches, all the gold
"Into the wasteland of my life"
All the riches, all the gold
"I lie in waiting here"
Day turn endless night,
burned alive and scream.
The end of days, you're all alone,
when Jesus mighty from his throne
drowns you in Venom!
