Slither: The Only Time I Ever Made A Woman Smile I Was Burning To A Smoldering Pile

I spit acid at angels and leave them alive
Reserved in the seventh
A special circle in heaven
God apathetically entertains my confession
A sentence eternal a lethal injection
Slowly delivered one at a time
An eye for an eye dripping with spit
Fresh from the lips of each lover I kissed
Drenched in the oil I slither over the earth
Just waiting one day for my chance to die
But a liar always will get what is coming
A man’s game charges a man’s price
And then all the women I once claimed that I love
Gathered sticks at the pyre to burn me alive
