On My Knees -> On Your Knees
I'm on my knees before you
But it doesn't mean a damn thing
You call it worship
I call it a gun pressed to my temple
You say that I love you
I say that I love my life
Take from me what you will
I laugh at the irony
You question this
The one thing you cannot have is my will
Don't try to tell me that you love me
It won't get you anywhere
Your gun is what scares me
That is what I respect
Not the man that hides behind it
You are but the shell of a human without it
No power without your bullets
Submission in the face of death
Why does this seem like a new concept to you?
I'm sorry, but this has gone on from the dawn of man...
Should I hate you?
No, for that would mean that I cared at all
I feel nothing
Numb to the shit that you drown in
That you try to drown me in as well
Each time you slander my name...
Each time you threaten my life...
Every bruise that you leave...
Is your confession of your own worthlessness
It is your praise of me
You degrade yourself...
For whom?
For the victims you hold so low
But thus become your gods
Stretch yourself along the ground
Everyone you try to drag to your level
Becomes a flood over your grave
Exposing your lifeless corpse to rot in the elements
You dug this shallow grave yourself
=>And I walk away<=
