lyrics

Alone with the shadows, they’re giving me the eye
Sawin’ my nerves with the dullest blade
Trapped behind a window where the lead distorts the light
And the ghost of rumor screams down the alley way

In the fools parade the marchers cry
They cry out “have you no shame?”
They’re a violent wonder, but you’re poison to the eye
And this slate’s been beat to hell where the truth resides

Fearless is desire despite the venom in the air
And the heat it brings would singe the heart of all
For the devil lurks in passion, your sheets they are his skin
Your moan the twisted ring of his evil call

In the fools parade the marchers cry
They cry out “have you no shame?”
They’re a violent wonder, but you’re poison to the eye,
And this slate’s been beat to hell where the truth resides

Afraid to look behind me at the carnage on my trail
All I hoped to reach was higher ground
And the ghosts that stand before me, cast your shadow no more
For the rumor fell like the truth amidst a wounded wail

In the fools parade the marchers cry
They cry out “have you no shame?”
They're a violent wonder, but you're poison to the eye,
And this slate’s been beat to hell, where the truth resides

You're the violent wonder, you're the poison to my eye
And this slate's been blown to hell
Hell...
