Ice Nine Kills - The Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics

rate me

How could this happen?

Am I dreaming again?

Her body’s not moving; I’m assuming she’s dead.

This isn’t a fucking game!

There’s somebody’s life at stake

She’s covered in bruises

But the truth is that I never committed the crime

'Cause I could never hurt a fly.

Then how’d she lose her life?

You're in denial

Time to burn and dig

The whites of my eyes

Then what went on that night

“Listen closely as I tell you I’m not who I seem.

I’m gonna touch you 'cause I like it when you scream.

I want to watch you when you’re sleeping and thinking of me.”

And that’s what he told her as he killed her.

That son of a bitch took away my girl.

He’s gonna pay for it

Right now.

Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

But don't believe what he says

He's not real

It's murder (and this is it)

(My girl!)

You better fear me 'cause I'm gonna find you

'Cause I'll be out in six months with his address and a shotgun

And a promise for justice that night

And I’ll be standing at the crime

So they can throw me back in prison for my life

If that could bring you back to me

Last night I dreamed we had a future and you were alive

It was springtime on our wedding day

There were birds in the sky

The sun was glowing, it was beautiful, and everyone was there.

I still can’t believe that you're gone. I’m so lost.

I’m sorry-- don’t go.

Oh please God no!

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

But don't believe what he says

He's not real

He's just a murderer

Come on, don't...

I think that I've had enough but

He says, “You're too late

I’ve got a hole to dig

And you think that I’ve over-reacted

She was just so cute.

I can’t resist cause I’m a sucker for promiscuous actions.

So tell me (just tell me)

Tell me the truth.

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

But don't believe what he says

He's not real

He's a murderer

'Cause you'll be lying awake

From this nightmare and feel betrayed.

I gave my life

But you took it away.

(Am I dead?)

Or am I still breathing?

'Cause you’ve stolen the love of my life.

So you’ll be sleeping with the fishes tonight

(Sleeping with the fishes tonight)

Now listen.

I’m not religious but I’ve learned to pray (for her)

I’m not a violent man but people can change

So while you’re sleeping

I’ll slit your throat and drain your blood

And mail it to your mother

She’ll discover what a mess you become.

(I think she might like that.)

I fucking do!

'Cause you might think you're in love

And he might promise you the world

But don't believe what he says

He's not real

He's a murderer

'Cause you'll be lying awake

From this nightmare and feel betrayed.

I gave my life

But you took it away.

There's not a day that goes by...

But you took it away (x2).
