lyrics

Reflections of the flames in the lake, make no mistake
I prepared for this day since the time that you said I looked so sad.
I wasn't sad at all I was angry at the pity that you felt for
sad looking jake, anger and hate took the sadness away
as I burned all the tracks that I left here today
the shadows now play out a final act to your fucking play

How they dance and sway
As you hope and pray
That come the day
I will also take your life away

Descriptions of the past in my book, here take a look
I've got demons to slay for they came from the pits at the Ritz
They aren't new you see they're just phantoms of the earthquake that you
caused when you crying shook, I shall be found below the rubble and clay
with your ghost as my host I just might feel okay
I simply cannot wait until you die gently of old age

How they dance and sway
As you hope and pray
for better days
guess who's gonna take your life away?

Illusions about peace in my mind, cannot rewind
got more problems than Jay, no one's got more dillemmas than me
I'm looking for your grave, need to tell you 'bout the guild I feel now
That the stars are aligned, anger and hate have made room for decay
for your urn is the friend that I've got here today
the shadows now stray like some wolves that I cannot keep at bay

How you danced and swayed
Feintly hoped and prayed
on that fateful day
I took our rotten lives away
I dragged your limbless corpse away
and hid your body in the quay
