Seventeen years ago |
|
They told me to teach you everything I know |
|
I let the fire rain down |
|
Rain down |
|
Watched it flare up inside his heart |
|
Saw it tearing him completely apart |
|
Head to toe |
|
I know |
|
And blood will run |
|
Through the streets of Rome today |
|
And roll across the ocean |
|
Fourteen years ago tonight |
|
Watched him tearing through the garden, killing everything in sight |
|
I let my curiosity |
|
Get the best of me |
|
I saw the sourceless anger eating at him from inside |
|
No one around him to stem the rising tide |
|
Evil from his head down to his feet |
|
Quinine's bitter, sugar's sweet |
|
And blood will run |
|
Through the streets of Rome today |
|
And roll across the ocean |
