Trick Mirror

Seventeen years ago

They told me to teach you everything I know

I let the fire rain down

Rain down

Watched it flare up inside his heart

Saw it tearing him completely apart

Head to toe

I know

And blood will run

Through the streets of Rome today

And roll across the ocean

Fourteen years ago tonight

Watched him tearing through the garden, killing

everything in sight

I let my curiosity

Get the best of me

I saw the sourceless anger eating at him from inside

No one around him to stem the rising tide

Evil from his head down to his feet

Quinine's bitter, sugar's sweet

And blood will run

Through the streets of Rome today

And roll across the ocean
