The Facades - The Lucifer Gambit Lyrics

I am a fallen star from high above
Glowing brighter than the sun
You always preached to me of endless love
Through knowing he's the only one
I'll never pray again to be saved instead of damned
I'd rather rule over hell than suffer heaven for a slice of land

Got five aces up my sleeve, trying so hard to
Alleviate the pain of getting your wings ripped off again
Never more than what thou art, I've got the cure for a broken
Heart, you rage until you fall into the dark
For that little taste of heaven

I am made of hell in a human shape, to wallow in all that human hate
Preachers up above cannot let me be, but they play the fool down at heaven's gate
I'll never cease to be amazed by what fools these mortals be
Don't dare look behind the smile, cause you see

Got five aces up my sleeve, trying so hard to
Alleviate the pain of getting your wings ripped off again
Never more than what thou art, I've got the cure for a broken
Heart, you rage until you fall into the dark
For that little taste of heaven

We stand before you
Today to celebrate the lives of the man we thought we knew
Preachers of war, come to my arms, don't rain on my parade
And all the filthy ones with hearts as dark as coal
Ghosts and liars circle round, for I'm the one who has your soul

Got five aces up my sleeve, trying so hard to
Alleviate the pain of getting your wings ripped off again
Never more than what thou art, I've got the cure for a broken
Heart, you rage until you fall into the dark
For that little taste of heaven
