lyrics

Life is a pain-game.
A play-thing.
No sense in changing.
It's only nature
And I am its natural aggression.
Assertion.
I'm always pushing to fight.
I will push you,
Coercion.
I take what I want
But, I want you to hurt me,
impale me.
Reversion.

I've been chasing death,
A Dead man,
Doing what I'm supposed to.
Man is Death.

I fantasize about the soldier of fortune,
A killer, with purpose.
He'll do the mission.
His blade is sharp on
The throat of submission.
He can't be held to the law.
I dream of his body.
The blue of the bruises,
The raw pink of his scars.
Life is a pain-game
Pain he can take.
I think of his wounds,
Still dripping blood, freshly agape.
He'll plug it with dirt
He takes from his grave.

I've been chasing death,
A Dead man,
Doing what I'm supposed to.
Man is Death.

Life is a pain-game,
A plaything.
And I'm full of anger and distance.
Danger and tension
The world will no longer make me a mission.
But I won't surrender,
Even when this chamber runs empty.
I stand aside this farcical world
Of floods and Invaders.
My body's a weapon, a sandbag,
A savior.
I want you to kill me, just like a hero,
Show me no mercy.
I'm natural aggression.
Assertion.
Coercion.
Reversion.
Or I'll be destruction...

I've been chasing death,
A Dead man,
Doing what I'm supposed to.
Man is Death.
