lyrics

I spoke in layman's terms
But they could not understand
I built these city walls
With steady calloused hands
They marched upon my gates
One hundred thousand strong
I knew the verse they sang
My time had come and gone

They burned the temples down
But no god would hear my cries
They slashed me to the ground
And the blood ran down my side
Could you tell me one last time?
Will you hear my last request?
As I'm taking my last breath

Tell me you love me, Tell me you hate me
Stand beside me and then beat me without mercy
Elevate me, Eliminate me
I guess everyone could use a little more controversy

I saw my lover fall to hands of savagery
I saw the city walls reduced to mere debris
They named me at my birth
They made me who I am
And they came to destroy me in the end

Tell me you love me, Tell me you hate me
Stand beside me and then beat me without mercy
Elevate me, Eliminate me
I guess everyone could use a little more controversy
Liberate me, Devastate me
Decorate me and then peacefully disgrace me
Consecrate me, Desecrate me
Create me and then laugh as you erase me
