1. THE SCORPION

My life is everything
That feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all i care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what i can do
Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

As i climb onto your back, i will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then i treat you like a dog as i shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that i am a scorpion, oh

My self i'm centred in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And i dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
Its black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defence you'll do what i please, oh-oh!

As i climb onto your back, i will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then i treat you like a dog as i shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that i am a scorpion, oh

As i climb onto your back, i will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then i treat you like a dog as i shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that i am a scorpion, ya!

My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandise and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you love, i'll soon betray
Look deep into my past
The pain is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse, i'm the fall of man
