The Scorpion

[Verse 1]
Tattooed flesh and the scent of death
A pernicious lust for your last breath
She brings both misfortune and pain
Yet you'll invite her in again and again

Where there’s a will there’s a way
Her heart is dark, you wear the mark, a price that you must pay
All your dreams will turn to disaster
You can chase the dragon, but she always runs faster

[Chorus]
She's the scorpion
The betrayer
She's the scorpion
The soothsayer

[Verse 2]
Haunted like a broken promise
Bitter like a fallen goddess
You look for answers that cannot be found
A twist of fate, a darkness unbound

Centuries of discord and disarray
No talisman can keep her at bay
She sees your future and it’s drowning in blood
You bring desire, she’ll bring the fire …and then the flood

She’ll bring the fire
And then the flood

[Chorus]
She's the scorpion
The betrayer
She's the scorpion
The soothsayer

[Outro]
Enchanted by the shadows
Bathing in your lies
The Scorpion
Will steal the pennies from your eyes
Enchanted by the shadows
Bathing in your lies
The Scorpion
Will steal the pennies from your eyes

Enchanted by the shadows
Bathing in your lies
The Scorpion
Will steal the pennies from your eyes
Enchanted by the shadows
Bathing in your lies
The Scorpion
Will steal the pennies from your eyes
