Rough Silk

Rough Silk - Mephisto lyrics

rate me

He was water when the river

took a screaming mother's life

in the night he was the reason

why the ripper used his knife

he was anger, hate and misery

in a billion deadly wars

he was the rising flag of violence

when fanatism made the laws

he hid where the snake led adam

to damnation with a grin

he was around when the young girl lost her innocence

to a man not worth her sin

all the years he was a gambler

threw the cards and rolled the dice

fed the ages of temptation

with the grapes of sacrifice

mephisto - just a painted face

mephisto - when you cut quiet noise

mephisto - with a helping hand

mephisto - you're lost my friend

- with every soul he takes

another price of his cold heart breaks

he was not allowed to cry

when the earth screamed lound in pain

when silence broke the music

and millions died in vain

he's the inner voice of darkness

that makes our conscience die

he was the smoke over battlefields

and the deadly thirst of science

mephisto.....
