How do you do?
The pleasure's all mine
I've been expecting you for sometime
So long I've watched and waited for this
The day you'd fall to my blackened kiss
I've longed to touch and to caress your soul
To taste your flesh then devour you whole
I've courted kings and queens alike
Nurtured war, despair and strife
I am the sun that sears your skin
I am the guilt that tears within
I am the cries of famine
I am everything
My name is Pain - and I love you
My name is Pain - and I want you too
My name is Pain - and I need you
My name is Pain - and you need me too
You've lived a life free from harm
Now I welcome you into my arms
And as I take you into my embrace
My love's design is to annihilate
You retreat and try to break free
But your struggle only strengthens me
Submit to me, my will, your course
Or be overcome by force
I am empowered where addictions reign
I know the junkies all by name
And I know you just the same
I am everything
I am the face of genocide
Common of all things alive
My legacy is your theology
History reads like my biography
My temple is persecution, rape, fear and domination
I am the sun that sears your skin
I am the guilt that tears within
Your cries like song that you sing
