Ice Nine Kills
The Greatest Story Ever Told
[Verse 1]
Well, how can this happen?
Am I dreaming again?
Her body's not moving, I'm assuming she's dead
This isn't a fucking game
There's somebody's life at stake
She's covered in bruises
But the truth is that I never committed the crime
'Cause I know I could never hurt a fly
"Then how'd she lose her life?"
"You're in denial"
Time to burn and dig
The whites of my eyes
I wanna tell you
But what went on that night?

[Pre-Chorus]
"Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem
I'm gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream
I want to watch you when you're sleeping and thinking of me"
And that's what he told her as he killed her
That son of a bitch took away my girl
He's gonna pay for it right now

[Chorus]
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real
This is it
[Verse 2]
My God
Take it
I'm coming to find you
This is [?] (Blinding)
I'll be out in six months
With his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night (Alright)
And I'll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If they could bring you back to me

[Pre-Chorus]
Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive
It was springtime on our wedding day
There were birds in the sky
The sun was glowing
It was beautiful and everyone was there
I still can't believe that you're gone, I'm so lost
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Don't go
Oh, please God, no

[Chorus]
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real
He's just a murderer
[Guitar Solo]
C'mon, don't

[Verse 3]
I think that I've had enough
He says, "You're too late
I've got a hole to dig and you think that I've over-reacted?
She was (C'mere) just so cute
I can't resist 'cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action"
So tell me, just tell me
Say it for you

[Chorus]
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, he's a murderer
'Cause you'll be lyin' awake (Lying awake)
From this nightmare you feel betrayed
I gave my life, and you took it away

[Bridge]
Am I dead? Or am I just breathin'?
'Cause you've stolen the one that I like
So you'll be sleepin' with the fishes tonight
Woah-oh
Oh, alright
Woah-oh
Oh, alri-ight
Sleepin' with the fishes tonight
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
Now listen
I'm not religious, but I've learned to pray for her
I'm not a violent man, but people can change
So while you're sleeping
I'll slit your throat and drain your blood
And mail it to your mother
She'll discover what a mess you've become
I think she might like that, I fucking do

[Chorus]
'Cause you might think you're in love
And he might promise you the world
Don't believe what he says
He's not real, he's a murderer
'Cause you'll been lyin' awake (Lying awake)
From this nightmare, you feel betrayed
I gave my life, and you took it away

[Outro]
There's not a day that goes by
But you took it away
But you took it away
