Ice Nine Kills
The Greatest Story Ever Told (Re-Shadowed and Re-Recorded)
[Verse 1: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
How could 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 never hurt a fly
Then how'd she lose her life?
You're in denial
Time to burn a-gain
The whites of my eyes
But what went on that night?
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
“Listen closely as I tell you I'm not who I seem
I’m gonna touch you 'cause I like it whеn you scream
I want to watch you when you’re sleeping and thinking of mе”
And that’s what he told her when he killed her
That son of a bitch took away my girl
He's gonna pay for it right now
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
'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
It's murder and this is it
[Verse 2: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
My God, you better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you
'Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun
And a promise for justice that night
And I'll be standing at the crime
So they can throw me back in prison for my life
If that could bring you back to me
[Pre-Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
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: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
'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]
[Bridge: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
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 just so cute
I can't resist 'cause I'm a sucker for promiscuous action"
So tell me, just tell me
Tell me the truth
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
'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
'Cause I've been lying awake
From this nightmare I feel betrayed
I gave my life but you took it away
[Verse 3: Spencer Charnas, Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
Am I dead or am I just breathing?
'Cause you've stolen the love of my life
So you'll be sleeping with the fishes tonight
Woah, alright, woah, alright
Sleeping with the fishes tonight
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 become
I think she might like that, I fucking do
[Chorus: Spencer Charnas, Spencer Charnas & Justin "JD" DeBlieck]
'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
'Cause I've been lying awake
From this nightmare I feel betrayed
I gave my life but you took it away
[Outro: Spencer Charnas]
There's not a day that goes by
But you took it away
But you took it away
